7.1. Induced EMF and current in a moving wire
Aim: to investigate the induced EFM and current in a moving wire.
Apparatus: from the Low-Tech kit you will need:
•
digital multimeter,
•
wire,
•
strong magnet.
Photo 1. The experimental set-up for presentation the induced EFM and current in a moving
wire.
Procedure:
Put on the table strong magnet and digital multimeter. Connect the wire to the
multimeter to measure the voltage. Switch on the multimeter. Move the wire fast
across a magnetic filed. What can you observe?
Explanation:
When a wire is moved across a magnetic field, a small EMF (voltage) in generated in
the wire. The effect is called Faraday's electromagnetic induction. If the wire forms
part of a complete circuit, the EFM makes a current flow. The small voltage can be
measure by digital multimeter. The induced EFM (and current) can be increased by:
•
moving the wire faster,
•
using the stronger magnet,
•
increasing the length of wire in the magnetic field – for example by loping the
wire through the field several times.
