Generator Experiment

Screen Shot 2015-11-07 at 10.50.07 AMKnowing Faraday’s Law, our class conducted a lab to demonstrate and observe the effects it has when conducting electricity. Faraday’s Law states that when a magnet passes through a coil, changing the magnetic flux, the coil will produce electricity. The greater the change in flux, the more electricity will be produced. One is able to visualize this law through the shake light that was given out. In the lab one observes how much electricity is produced using a voltmeter. To get our values, one shakes the light at different speeds, in theory the more vigorously shaken, the more voltage produced. Once the lab was completed, the values were plotted on the graph displayed above which proves the theory. The mindstorm took data numerous times as the light was shaken and at the end of each run one would average out all those values. After 5 runs, each average was plotted out. As hypothesized, it did produce more and more energy as the number of shakes increased. Now below there is another image which describes a bit more into detail how the law works and how the values change with each variable.
