This interactive physics problem focuses on the current induced on a bar moving in a uniform magnetic field. The questions help students explore the various concepts involved by manipulating the Physlet based simulation.
This is part of a collection of similar simulation-based student activities. See Related Items for a link to the author's full collection of simulations on Electricity and Magnetism, and for an additional simulation designed to extend the concepts in this one.

This is a related 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.
