Generator Experiment

In this experiment, we shook a flashlight attached to wires and plugged into the computer. We shookthe flashlight at different speeds during a thirty second time period and calculated the voltage for each number if shakes. This is shown in the graph below.

Number of shakes per 30 seconds…….Voltage produced

20………………………………0.676844847

42………………………………42.31661222

64………………………………143.6904961

This graph compares the voltage produced for different amounts ofshakes of the flashlight. With a higher amount of shakes per thirty seconds there is consequently a higher voltage.
