Generator Lab

This lab was partly based off of Faraday’s Law which is that the amount of voltage created is equal to the change in magnetic flux divided by the change in time. The bigger the change you have in the magnetic field, the greater amount of voltage. The basic generator that we had in class provided us with an experiment along with LabView to compare the number of shakes of the flashlight with the voltage the generator creates. We performed four trials and recorded them in Excel and through the data, we made a graph which illustrates our results. Below are Catherine and my results:
