DA: Luke Katalinic Researcher: Natalie Cupples PI: Marissa Harris DA1: Record your groups five situations. (If you are going to use my example as one of your five, the researcher should carefully explain what “placed appropriately” means specifically.) 1. For the given example, placed appropriately means placed inside or in close proximity to the loop. 2. Waving the magnet in close proximity to the lightbulb itself 3. Flipping the polarity of the magnet quickly 4. Changing the strength of the magnet inside the loop 5. Changing the number of loops with the magnet inside R1: Apply Faraday’s Law to each situation to explain why light bulb lights in each case 1. Increasing the area will also increase the magnetic flux. 2. By moving the magnet near the lightbulb, the magnetic field is constantly changing. 3. Flipping the polarity causes a change in the angle. 4. Increasing the strength of the magnet will increase the magnetic flux 5. While the magnet is inside, increasing the number of loops will increase the overall magnetic field. DA2: Capture the data from your largest pulse to add to your worksheet. Options for aquiring this data include: a thumb drive and the “Print” button, a cable from Oscope to the computer and the “OpenChoice Desktop” app, or a camera. Note, you will be graded based on style and clarity so a fuzzy cell phone pic with poor labelling will not earn full points.
R2: record your group’s procedure for creating the DA2’s voltage pulse. To create the voltage pulse on the oscilloscope, we attached the two disk magnets to one end of the iron rod and quickly inserted and removed the rod from inside the big coil repeatedly until a graph with enough data showed. PI1: Refine the answers to R1 and R2 to explain what aspects of your group’s procedure were responsible for the large size of the voltage pulse recorded in DA2. The faster we inserted and removed the rod the higher the voltage pulse was. This could be due to the when having 2 magnets this increased the magnets strength causing a higher voltage pulse as well. R3a: What effect does the amplitude setting have on voltage/current in the big coil of circuit 2? Increasing the amplitude increases the height of the voltage wave. R3b: What effect does the frequency setting have on the voltage/current the big coil of circuit 2? Increasing the frequency will also increase the voltage of the big coil. DA3a: What effect does the amplitude setting on the function generator have on Oscope display of the voltage in the small coil?
When you change the amplitude, it changes the voltage. Increasing the amplitude increases the voltage; Decreasing the amplitude decreases the voltage. DA3b: What effect does the frequency setting on the function generator have on the Oscope display of the voltage in the small coil? Increasing frequency causes the waves of voltage to come closer together, and further apart for decreasing frequency. This is essentially the current just increasing or decreasing its speed. PI2: Why does the oscilloscope register a non-zero voltage for the small coil? There are no wires between the two circuits, so how can energy can transfer from one coil to the other? When the Oscope is on a closed circuit is produced causing a closed circuit and a current to be produced in the big coil. This current allows a magnetic field that changed from zero to its equilibrium when the Oscope is on. This is the whole concept of Far aday’s Law of Induction . When the emf is induced this results in a current in the coil. So energy is transferred from one coil to the other. PI3: The answers to R3a and DA3a should be similar. However the answers to R3b and DA3b should be different in one important aspect. Use the Faraday’s Law equation to explain why the frequency has this different effect on the two coils. 𝜀 = − 𝑑Φ 𝐵 𝑑𝑡 This equation shows how an emf is induced with a changing magnetic flux. And when increasing the frequency for the small coil causes a change in the magnetic field as the area gets smaller. This causes a shorter time and changing the magnetic flux of the larger coil.
