Generator Lab – RC

Based on what we information we were given in class, “Faraday’s Law states that changing magnetic fluxes through coiled wires generate electricity (currents and voltage).   The greater is the change in magnetic flux, the greater are the currents and voltages.” In the experiment we were to shake the tube that was given to us and record the results of it.  The expected results of the experiment were supposed to show that the faster you shake the tube, the greater will be the generated voltage. As well as we were to demonstrate how energy could generate with the shakes.
