Faradays Law
Introduction The aim of this lab was to confirm the prediction that the group will make using Faraday’s Law. This lab required the use of a magnets, coils and a magnetic field sensor. A magnet is any material that attracts iron or materials containing iron. From this experiment, it should be possible to test, record, and discuss observations of a change in magnetic field. This requires knowledge of the variables effecting magnetic fields and voltage induced in a coil. another variable includes physical movement of the magnet. The induced voltage should increase by 20% if we increase the magnitude of the magnetic field by 20%. We believe this because we believe the magnitude of the magnetic field is relative to the voltage induced and it should be a constant change. Successfully utilizing the aforementioned material should lead to the team to acquiring our prediction. Materials & Set-Up The lab should be set as shown. The coil should be mounted on a stand. Under the coil should be a cushion in a box to catch the magnet. Procedure Set up your selected coil on a stand with a clamp. Grab it to the clamp so that the magnets can fall through the center of the coil. Place the cushion box below to catch the magnet and prevent it from breaking. Connect the voltage sensor on both ends of the coil. Set up your Capstone page to have a voltage vs. time graph, and increase to 100Hz your sample rate. Select a magnet to use as the baseline for later comparison. Find the magnetic field value produced by each magnet by passing the magnet through the coil. It is important to ensure that the change in time of each magnet is the same each time a magnet passes through the coil. Pass each magnet five consecutive times through the coil. Ensure that the same pole is going first each time. This will be your value for the emf for the specific magnet. This will be your value for the emf for the specific magnet. Find the percentage change (increase/decrease) for each of the two other magnets. Voltage sensor leads Magnetic field sensor 3 magnets coil
