Faraday's Law (h1)
Scene Summary (h2)
Faraday's Law is an interactive sim. It changes as you play with it.
The play area has a light bulb circuit, and a moveable bar magnet. There are controls that change what is connected to the circuit, flip the bar magnet, and reset the sim.
Move the magnet to play.
Play Area (h2)
Light Bulb Circuit (h3)
(If just 4 loop coil attached)
In circuit are a light bulb and 4 loop coil. The coil is open on the left and right - the bar magnet can pass through.
(If 2 loop or volt meter attached)
In circuit are a:
- 4 loop coil
- 2 loop coil (if enabled)
- Volt meter (if enabled)
The coils are open on the left and right - the bar magnet to pass through.
(Static)
Controls:
- Checkbox: Connect volt meter to circuit
- Checkbox: Show field
- Checkbox: Add 2 loop coil to circuit
Magnet (h3)
(If just 4 loop coil attached)
The bar magnet is at the [ location ]
of the Play Area.
(If 2 loop coil attached)
The bar magnet is:
[ location ]
of the Play Area[proximity]
to the 4 loop coil.[proximity]
to the 2 loop coil.
Magnet polarity:
- North on the
[left / right]
- South on the
[right / left]
.
Button: flip magnet (Help text: "Flip North and South poles")
(If field lines visible) Field Lines (h3)
Magnetic field lines go around from North end on [right / left]
side of magnet, to South end on [left / right]
side of magnet.
(If just 4 loop coil attached)
From the magnet's position, a[field strength]
magnetic field is passing through the 4 loop coil.
(If 2 loop coil attached)
The magnet field strength is:
[field strength]
at the 4 loop coil.[field strength]
at the 2 loop coil.
