This web page is an interactive physics simulation on changing magnetic flux. It depicts a bar moving back and forth, representing the area of a loop. The voltage graph on the right allows users to see how changing the area of the coil can induce an EMF.
This item part of a collection of similar simulation-based student activities by the author.

Boston University Physics Applets: A Moving Bar
This item is an extends the concept of induction of an EMF by changing the area of the loop. It features a bar sliding on rails with a current passing through it. Students can see how changes in the magnetic flux will cause the bar to speed up or slow down. relation by Caroline HallKnow of another related resource? Login to relate this resource to it. |
