Faraday’s Law: Moving Magnet

Experiment #11 from Advanced Physics with Vernier — Beyond Mechanics

In this experiment, you will

  • Fashion a simple coil to collect data.
  • Collect potential vs. time data for a magnet moving through a coil.
  • Account for features of the observed graph of potential vs. time.
  • Relate the induced emf to changes in the magnetic flux passing through a coil.
