Faraday Lab2

1. The document describes experiments using a PhET simulation of Faraday's electromagnetic lab involving a pickup coil, transformer, and generator. 2. It asks the user to run simulations of these components and describe their observations of how motion of magnets and changing magnetic fields induce currents in coils to light light bulbs. 3. The user is asked to rank different arrangements of magnets and coils from most to least effective in lighting bulbs and describe correlations between magnet motion and electron motion in coils.

Faradays Electromagnetic Lab II: Pickup Coil, Transformer, and Generator

Answer the following questions on a separate sheet. The sim is available at phet.colorado.edu. Part A: Pickup Coil 1. Run the PhET sim, Faradays Electromagnetic Lab. Maximize the window. Click the Pickup Coil tab. You should see a bar magnet, a compass needle grid, and a coil attached to a light bulb. 2. Describe the most effective way of using the magnet and the coil to light the bulb if a. the coil cannot be moved. b. the magnet cannot be moved. 3. Rank the arrangements and motions shown below from most effective to least effective in terms of lighting the bulb, allowing for ties. For example, if A were most effective, B were least effective, and C and D were equivalent to one another, the ranking would be A > C = D > B.
A. Transverse External B. Transverse Internal C. Longitudinal Internal D. Longitudinal External

4. Move the bar magnet through the coil and observe the motion of the electrons in the forward arc of the coil loops. Report the correlations of magnet motion and electron motion.

a. Magnet approaches from the left, north pole first; electrons move downward. b. Magnet departs to the right, south end last; electrons move upward.

c. Magnet approaches from the right, south pole first; electrons move _?_. d. Magnet departs to the left, north end last; electrons move _?_.

e. Magnet approaches from the left, south pole first; electrons move _?_. f. Magnet departs to the right, north end last; electrons move _?_.

g. Magnet approaches from the right, north pole first; electrons move _?_. h. Magnet departs to the left, south end last; electrons move _?_. Part B: Transformer 1. Click the on-screen Transformer tab. You should see an electromagnet and a pickup coil. 2. Experiment with the various control panel settings and the positions of the electromagnet and the pickup coil to determine a method for getting the most light out of the bulb. Describe the settings and locations. Part C: Generator 1. Click the on-screen Generator tab. You should see a faucet, paddlewheel with bar magnet, compass, and a pickup coil. 2. Experiment with the various settings to determine a method for getting the most light out of the bulb. Describe the settings. 3. What is the story of light production here? Organize and connect the given plot elements and add any key elements that were omitted from the list to construct the complete story. light radiated from the bulb motion of the bar magnet changing magnetic field kinetic energy of the water induced electric current heat the filament
