Today, we'll review Lenz's Law (presentation). We'll briefly discuss ways of inducing a current in a loop of wire. We'll review Lenz's Law which states, "An induced emf gives rise to a current whose magnetic field opposes the original change in flux." We'll see how we might use this concept to generate electricity to power a lightbulb. Then, see βοΈ Google Classroom to find the Lenz's Law problem you have been assigned, and explain your own example on π Flipgrid.
With any remaining time, you'll start problems from the next post on Faraday's Law.
Homework: Quiz on Ampere's Law Monday! Lenz's Law π Flipgrid is due on Monday at 10pm. If you need additional support, you can watch this video:
Today, we'll explore Faraday's Law with simulations and video demonstrations. Record your observations for each simulation/demonstration in βοΈ Google Classroom by Tuesday at 10pm.
We'll start with two different on-line simulations from the University of Colorado PhET group.
INVESTIGATION 1:
First, link to the simulation: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/faradays-law
What happens when a magnet moves through a coil in which a current can flow?
Move the magnet at a relatively constant frequency back and forth through the coil. The voltage displayed is proportional to the current flowing in the coil. Watch the reading of the voltmeter. What happens
as you move the magnet through the coils with different number of loops,
as you change the frequency and therefore the speed of the magnet for a given number of loops, and
as you change the polarity of the magnet?
INVESTIGATION 2:
Second, link to the simulation: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/faraday
Using the window called Pickup Coil, investigate what you can about induction. Make a list of variables that affect the amount and direction of the induced current. Qualitatively describe how these variables affect the amount and direction of the induced current.
INVESTIGATION 3:
Watch this video of Faraday's Law - Demonstrated & Explained. Using your own words and diagrams, explain the demonstration that starts at 2:57. Upload your explanation to βοΈ Google Classroom by Tuesday at 10pm.
INVESTIGATION 4 (optional but suggested):
With any time remaining, watch this video on Lenz's Law demonstrations, and explain at least what you observe in the demo from 1:00-3:02. Upload your explanation to βοΈ Google Classroom by Tuesday at 10pm. If you still have time, watch and try to make sense of the other demonstrations in this video.
Homework: Quiz on Ampere's Law Monday! Lenz's Law π Flipgrid is due on Monday at 10pm. Finish all of the above in βοΈ Google Classroom by Tuesday at 10pm. Also, watch the following video on Faraday's Law of Induction. This video builds on the basics from last year, but gives some more details about computing induced current.
