a student is testing out different ways of making a hydroelectric. This machine uses moving water to spina magnet (spinning red/blue square). It’s inside of a magnetic field. As the magnet spins inside the magnetic field, it electricity that passes through the wires. Your class is tasked with designing a new generator that would work better with a little wind blowing, instead of this intense water pushing 3 of your classmates give their opinions on how they would change the design in order to generate the most electricity. Jacobi. “ I would want there to be very little resistance in the generator, so I would remove the magnets on the outside, so there isn’t a strong magnetic field Cynthia: “ I would put smaller magnets around the generator, since the force of the wind may not be strong enough to push against larger magnets Ari: “I would put larger magnets in the generator in order to generate more electricity Which of the following best summarizes which design would meet the criteria? (a) None of their designs would work well, given the criteria (b) Cynthia design would work best because the smaller magnets would require a smaller force to generate electricity in the slow wind (c) Ari’s design would work best because the increase friction and force would generate more electricity faster, even if it will be harder for wind to spin the generator (d)Jacobi’s design would work best, because reducing the friction in the generator would make it easier to generate electricity with the slower win

Jacobi. “ I would want there to be very little resistance in the generator, so I would remove the magnets on the outside, so there isn’t a strong magnetic field
Cynthia: “ I would put smaller magnets around the generator, since the force of the wind may not be strong enough to push against larger magnets
Ari: “I would put larger magnets in the generator in order to generate more electricity
Which of the following best summarizes which design would meet the criteria?
(a) None of their designs would work well, given the criteria
(b) Cynthia design would work best because the smaller magnets would require a smaller force to generate electricity in the slow wind
(c) Ari’s design would work best because the increase friction and force would generate more electricity faster, even if it will be harder for wind to spin the generator
(d)Jacobi’s design would work best, because reducing the friction in the generator would make it easier to generate electricity with the slower wind
