Movement Alerts
Magnet Focus Alert
- "Magnet at
[location]of the Play Area. Use the W A S D keys to move magnet. Use number keys 1, 2, 3 to jump magnet."
Movement Alert
- "
[step direction]"
Movement Alert: direction or step size change
- "A
[ step size ]step[step direction ]."
Jump start alert: on release of 1, 2, or 3 key press
- "Jumping magnet
[jump speed]to[jump direction]side of play area. Press Space to stop jump."
Jump stop alert: Space bar is pressed, bumped into a coil or reached edge of play area
- "Jumping stopped."
Jumping in progress
- "Jumping to
[jump direction]." 
Alert Frequency: This is a lower priority alert. If one of the other alerts / events has occurred it is not be necessary to give this movement alert.
Coil bump alert
- "Bumped into
[number coils]coil."
Location Alerts
Location change alert: magnet transitions from one location region into another
- "At
[location]of play area."
Coil proximity change alert: magnet transitions from one coil proximity region into another
- Single coil: "
[coil proximity]4-loop coil." - Both coils: "
[coil proximity]4-loop coil.[coil proximity]2-loop coil." - Alert Frequency: This alert is omitted if the user's action will trigger an Entering or Exiting Coil alert.
Entering / Entrance Proximity Alert
- "
[number coils]coil entrance to the[left / right]."
Exiting Coil Alert
- "['Entering' / 'Exiting
'] [number coils]coil."
Coil proximity change event with magnetic field enabled
- Single coil: "
[coil proximity]4-loop coil and[field strength]magnetic field passing through." - Both coils: "
[coil proximity]4-loop coil and[field strength]magnetic field passing through.[coil proximity]2-loop coil and[field strength]magnetic field passing through."
Sim Controls Alerts

Rotate magnet
- "Flipping magnet: North pole is now on
['left' / 'right']. South pole now on['right' / 'left']."
Rotate magnet: with visible field lines
- "Flipping magnet and its magnetic field: North pole is now on
['left' / 'right']. South pole now on['right' / 'left']." - Remark: This is the same description as a regular "Rotate Magnet" alert text with the addition of "and its magnetic field".

Scene Summary (h2)
- Simulation Play Area contains a circuit and a magnet.
- Currently, the a circuit consists of a lightbulb, a volt meter,
[ 2 loop coil ], and a 4 loop coil. These parts are connected together with wires to form the circuit. - (If single coil)
- The 4 coil is open on the left and right, allowing the magnet to pass through.
- The magnet is at the
[location]of the Play Area,[proximity]to the 4 loop coil.
- (If both coils)
- The 4 and 2 loop coils are open on the left and right, allowing the magnet to pass through.
- The magnet is at the
[location]of the Play Area,[proximity]to the 4 loop coil, and[proximity]to the 2 loop coil.
- (If field lines visible)
[field strength]magnetic field is passing through the 4 loop coil.[field strength]magnetic field is passing through the 2 loop coil.
- Move the magnet to play.
Play Area (h2)
Circuit (h3)
The circuit consists of a lightbulb, a volt meter, 2 loop coil, and a 4 loop coil. All of these parts are connected together with some wires to form the circuit. The 4 and 2 loop coils are open on the left and right, allowing the magnet to pass through.
[field strength] magnetic field is passing through the 4 loop coil. [field strength] magnetic field is passing through the 2 loop coil. (if field lines visible)
- Checkbox: Connect volt meter to circuit
- Checkbox: Show magnetic field
- Checkbox: Add 2 loop coil to circuit
Magnet (h3)
The magnet is at the [ location ] of the Play Area. Use the W A S D keys to move the magnet.
(if single coil) The magnet is [ proximity ] to the 4-loop coil.
(if both coils) The magnet is [ proximity ] to the 4-loop coil, and is [ proximity ] to the 2-loop coil.
(if field lines hidden) The magnet has two magnetic poles: North on the [left / right], South on the [right / left].
(if field lines visible) The magnetic field is going from North pole on [left / right] end, to South pole on [right / left] end of magnet.
