Electromagnetic Induction

In this lab, students will use an induction wand, rotary motion sensor, variable gap magnet, and magnetic field sensor to determine how the rate of change of magnetic flux through a coil affects the magnitude and direction of the average emf induced in it.

Featured Equipment

PASPORT 2-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor

This sensor enables you to measure radial and axial fields simultaneously when used with PASPORT Interfaces. Dynamic variable over-sampling greatly reduces noise at low sample rates.

PASPORT Rotary Motion Sensor

The PASPORT Rotary Motion Sensor measures angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and linear position, velocity, and acceleration.

PASPORT Voltage-Current Sensor

This sensor allows students to safely measure voltage and current without overload risk.

Variable Gap Magnet

The redesigned Variable Gap Magnet is rugged and durable while providing excellent results as a demonstration tool.

Induction Wand

A rigid pendulum with a coil at the end to be used for induction investigations.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
