Experiments

  • The motor as a dynamo
  • Magnet and coil
  • Cutting a magnetic field with a wire
  • A magnet moving near a coil on a C-core
  • Moving an electromagnet
  • Switching an electromagnet
  • An electric motor used as a generator
  • Bicycle dynamo
  • Bicycle dynamo and oscilloscope
  • Datalogging magnetic induction
  • Electromagnetic braking in a copper pipe
