Item Picture
written by Andrew Duffy
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.

Covers the Same Topic As 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.
