PhET Simulation: Faraday's Electromagnetic Lab
published by the Physics Education Technology Project
This interactive simulation allows users to explore magnetic fields and Faraday's Law. Users can control settings such as magnet strength and position, and use either a compass or a magnetic field meter to measure the magnetic field components, total field, and angle. Faraday's Law is  demonstrated through simulations of movable magnets and coils, AC and DC electro-magnets, transformers, and generators.

This simulation is part of a large and growing collection. It has been designed using principles from physics education research and refined based on student interviews.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java.
