The EJS Electric Generator Model shows a simple electric generator made from a conducting loop rotating in a uniform magnetic field and connected to an ammeter. The model shows a plot of the magnetic flux and induced current. If Ejs is installed, right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item allows for editing of the model.

The Electric Generator model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_em_Generator.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models. Additional Ejs models are available. They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs.

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

U guys are doing great work in helping school teachers translating research into classroom practices. Keep up the great work.

hope i can be like you guys and be agents of change in physics education. :)

4. THE PHYSICAL SETTING

G. Forces of Nature

4G (9-12) #5. Magnetic forces are very closely related to electric forces and can be thought of as different aspects of a single electromagnetic force. Moving electric charges produce magnetic forces and moving magnets produce electric forces. The interplay of electric and magnetic forces is the basis for electric motors, generators, and many other modern technologies, including the production of electromagnetic waves.

The Alternating Current Electrical Generator Model was created by lookang, Fu-Kwun Hwang, Wolfgang Christian & Anne Cox.
I would like to thank Fu-Kwun Hwang, Wolfgang Christian & Anne Cox for sharing their source codes so that i could learn and accelerate the creation of this learning environment, for inquiry learning and sense making purposes.
