  • Electromagnetic Induction
    Showing that a current is induced in a coil of wire when a bar magnet is moved near or away from it.
  • Faraday's Law
    Showing that a current will be induced in a loop of wire wrapped around a solenoid when a current is run through that solenoid. Also shows that the induced current increases when there are more loops wrapped around the solenoid.
  • Non-Conservative Fields
    Showing that different voltages can be measured across the same points in a circuit when there is an induced current through the circuit.
