    This physics experiment tested magnetic induction by orienting and moving a coil through a magnet in different configurations. The coil generated a current when perpendicular to the magnetic field but not when parallel or inside the field. Rotating the coil inside the field also did not produce a current. Some errors may have occurred from imprecise angle measurements of the coil. The conclusion is that rotating a magnet quickly could generate enough electricity to power devices like lights.

    Title: A Tale of Coils and Magnets

    Hypothesis: To prove that magnetic induction will occur, a coil will be passed through a
    magnet in the following ways: horizontal while perpendicular to the magnetic field, and
    horizontal while parallel. Conversely, the coil will be placed inside the magnetic field
    and held stationary orientated perpendicularly and parallel, then moved vertically in both
    orientations. After which, the coil will be rotated while inside the magnetic field.

    Overview: A coil was passed through the magnet horizontally while orientated
    perpendicular and parallel to the magnetic field. It was also held in place inside the
    magnetic field while in the same orientations, then moved vertically. The coil was also
    rotated while inside the magnetic field as well. An electric current happened during
    some of the orientations and actions performed but not all.

    Procedures: See Experiment Instructions

    Data Table: See Experiment Data Table

    Uncertainty & Error:


    Considerations:
    1) The accuracy of the various angles at which the coils were placed are called into
    question as they appeared to move imprecisely and “jumped” ever so slightly
    about +/- 0.05 degrees. This may have caused inaccuracies in predicting if an
    electric current would occur while the coil was either perpendicular or parallel to
    the magnetic field.
    2) In a physical environment: The speed at which the coil would be traveling would
    have to be carefully monitored along with the orientation at the which the coil
    would be. Careful consideration would also have to be taken into account when
    monitoring the occurrence of an electric current when the polar ends of the
    magnet are switched.

    Conclusion/Summary: In this experiment, to prove that magnetic induction will occur,


    a coil will be passed through a magnet in the following ways: horizontal while
    perpendicular to the magnetic field, and horizontal while parallel. Conversely, the coil
    will be placed inside the magnetic field and held stationary orientated perpendicularly
    and parallel, then moved vertically in both orientations. After which, the coil will be
    rotated while inside the magnetic field. This was done by orienting and moving the coil
    in the prescribed methods through the magnet. The results indicated that when the coil
    was perpendicular to the magnet field, magnetic induction would occur while the
    opposite happened when the coil was either parallel, completely inside the field, or
    rotating while completely inside the field. A noticeable occurrence was that when the
    polar ends of the magnet were switched, for a brief moment, there was magnetic

    induction due to the changing of the magnetic flux. Some errors that may have occurred
    with this experiment include possible misjudgment of the angle of the coil. In the future,
    careful observation and higher quality picture should be considered to enhance the
    experiment.

    Application: Given that magnetic induction happens particularly when the polar ends of
    the magnet switch while the coil is inside of the magnetic field, it would suffice to say
    that rotating the magnet itself quickly, much like an alternator, would generate enough
    electricity to power various things, such as light bulbs or oscillating fans.
