Magnetic Field Mapping
Visualize the magnetic field by using small compasses to trace magnetic field lines for a dipole, a repulsive dipole, and a quadrupole field.
Induction: Magnet through a Coil
Examine Faraday's Law of Induction: A magnet is dropped through a coil and the voltage across the coil graphed as a function of time. The total integrated...
Magnetic Field in a Current Carrying Coil
The radial and axial magnetic fields of a current carrying coil are plotted versus position as the...
Circuits Experiment Board
In this lab, students will learn how to construct a simple circuit to power a light bulb. Students will practice representing electrical circuits with...
Lights in Circuits
In this lab, students will investigate how various circuit arrangements influence the intensity of light produced by a light bulb. Students will manipulate...
Resistance in Circuits
In this lab, students will select three different resistors to place in circuits in parallel, series, and combination. Students construct their circuits...
Voltages in Circuits
In this experiment, students will use the resistors they chose for Experiment 4 and a multimeter to explore voltages within circuits in series, parallel,...
Currents in Circuits
In this lab, students will use their resistors from Experiments 3 and 4 to study currents in circuits in parallel, series, and combination.
Kirchhoff's Rules
In this lab, students will experimentally demonstrate Kirchhoff’s Rules for electrical circuits. Using the Digital Multimeter, students will record the...
