Student Exploration: Magnetic Induction Vocabulary: current, induced magnetic field, magnetic field, Pythagorean Theorem, right-hand rule Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo. ... ) 1. Where does the needle on a compass normally point? __________North____________________ 2. What will happen to the compass needle if you hold a magnet close to it? ______________ The needle points towards the magnet _________________________________________________________________________ Gizmo Warm-up A compass is a useful tool for measuring the direction of a magnetic induction field—more commonly called a magnetic field—because the needle's northern tip points in the direction of a field. In the Magnetic Induction Gizmo™, you will use compasses to measure the magnetic field caused by a current. The SIMULATION pane shows an overhead and front view of a table with a wire threaded vertically through its center, perpendicular to the surface of the table. Check that the Current is set to 0 amps. 1. Drag a compass to several different locations on the SIMULATION pane. Where does the compass needle point? ______North________________________________________________ The effect you see is due to Earth's magnetic field. 2. Slowly increase the Current value from 0 to 60 amps. Describe what happens: __________ _______The compass point moves_ [Show More]
