In this lab, we took a flashlight that had a generator that we could shake back and forth inside a coil of wire. The wire was attached to a voltage probe and that was attached to the NXT adaptor that would record all the shakes.
The computer would record 30 seconds worth and we did this 5 separate times. Each of those times, we would shake the generator faster. We would then compare the shakes with the average voltage.
The first time we did this, we didn’t shake it at all and the average voltage was at 0.144899. The second time we did this, we shook it 15 times in the span 30 seconds. The average voltage was 78.86568. The next three times, we got in 30, 45, and 60 shakes with the average voltage being 62.82675, 103.8373, and 169.6192, respectfully.
We made a table at the end of the experiment to showcase the average voltage with the number of shakes.
