Magnets and electromagnets
What is the difference between a magnet and an electromagnet? Let’s assume there is a small container you can’t see inside. There is a magnetic field around this container that can attract iron. Then, can you … more

Oersted’s Experiment
Oersted’s experiment Oersted, a Danish physicist, accidentally discovered the occurrence of a magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. Oersted said that he was surprised to see the compass’s magnetic needle placed next to the wire rotate … more
AC Power Generator
Electromagnetic induction Moving a magnet around a coil changes the magnetic field inside the coil, which causes current to flow through the coil. This phenomenon is called ‘electromagnetic induction’; the current flowing through the coil is … more
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic induction Moving the magnet around the inductor will change the inductor’s magnetic field, which will cause the current to flow through the inductor. This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction. The current flowing in the inductor … more
Electric Current, Conductor, Insulator
Electric voltage(Regions of a positive or negative charge, such as those at the terminals of a battery) force electrons through a conductor. Electrons that have negative charges can be moved around a circuit. Originally, the current … more
Triboelectricity
When you rub a balloon on a cat, it charged. Charged balloons can be attached to walls or cat. The charged balloon rolls down as it discharges after a certain period of time. Triboelectricity If you … more
