Magnetism and Inductance

August 6, 2012 - 8th Meeting of Physics 102.1 Lab

After a long break due to heavy rains, we continued our laboratory activities in this day. Further investigation of magnetic phenomena and magnetic properties were discerned in this meeting. Although there were limited materials for the said activity, we managed to finish the experiments, together with other groups. The experiment was easy to observe, since Lenz's Law is a qualitative approach to magnetic activities and current.

The objective of the experiment is to investigate the deflections of a Galvanometer, an instrument used to measure electric current, specifically in electromagnetic induction. Needle deflections were observed, although the Galvanometer was a little off during the experiment. Nevertheless, the experiment was a success, and the last experiment has yet to come.
