This slide show covers the Introduction to Magnetism presentation done in class. | Slide Show |
| Electromagnets and Solenoids |
This lesson examines the properties of an electromagnet (solenoid) that affect the its strength. | Animations & Explanations |
| Electron in a Magnetic Field |
This demonstration shows the effect of a magnetic field acting on an electron. | Movie & Explanation |
| Charges moving through a B-field |
This examines the difference between slow and fast moving negative and positive charges passing through a magnetic field. | Movie & Explanation (Java) |
| Two Charges in a Magnetic Field |
This demonstration shows the effect of charge as an object moves through a magnetic field. | Movie & Explanation |
| The Lorentz Force | This simulation allows you to observe the relationship between current, magnetism, and the force created on a current bearing wire. by Walter Fendt | Interactive Lesson (Java) |
| Electric Motor (DC) | This interactive lesson clearly illustrates the roles that electricity, magnetism, and force play in a DC electric motor. by Walter Fendt | Interactive Lesson (Java) |
| Inside a Television |
This demonstrates the way magnetic fields are used inside television or computer displays (Cathode Ray Tubes). | Movie & Explanation |
| Electromagnetic Induction |
This animation demonstrates induction in a conductor passing through a magnetic field. | Movie & Explanation |
