Induced currents generated by turning a magnet

Series of experiments related to understanding how electric current is generated

Aim:

Observe how electric current can be generated by giving a turning movement to a reciprocating movement.

Material:

  • A coil.
  • A rectangular magnet.
  • Two connector cables.
  • Galvanometer (a milliammeter or a tester is also useful).

Process:

  • Observe the magnet and check how the poles are located. - Place the magnet on top of the coil and make it rotate.
  • Observe the galvanometer needle.

Write down what has been generated: ___________

Compare with previous experience and explain the results of the comparison:
