Overall:
Our experiment this week was about creating energy through the usage of generators.
We used Faraday’s Law which states that changing in magnetic fluxes through movement of magnet and coiled wires will create an electricity. Our goal was to prove whether if Faraday’s Law was true and if so, how does it change depending on different number of shakes or how change in strength of the shake can cause different results.

Experiment:
For this experiment, we manually created energy by using a hand-held generator. As we shook the generator, the magnet inside will move through the coiled wires which would produce electricity. To see different results, we shook the hand-held generator in different frequencies. With a program called LabView, we were able to  see and compare how number of shakes gave us different voltages.

Result:
From the result that we have calculated, we can see that as we increased the frequency of the shakes or the numbers of time we shook, the voltage output also increased. First of all, it proves that the movement of magnet going through a magnetic field will create an electricity and second of all, we have proven that the increase in number of shakes increases in creation of electricity.

Opinion:
Although this is not a very continuous and efficient way to make an electricity but if we can somehow utilize this ability to make our electricity, then it would help our environment tremendously.
