This apparatus is easy and inexpensive to construct and provides a clear and compelling demonstration of Faraday's Law of Induction and the Lorentz force. Two magnets are suspended from springs so that they are free to oscillate...

An electromagnetic induction model that simulates an electric generator made from a conducting loop rotating in a uniform magnetic field and connected to an ammeter.

Understand how inductive reasoning is used as the structure of scientific explanation, and that it is a deductive argument whose conclusion is the event to be explained.

Electric motors turn electricity into motion by exploiting electromagnetic induction.

Use this interactive, simple transformer to make a complete circuit via induction using two separate coils with iron cores inside.

Take one of two approaches when investigating nature, using either inductive or deductive reasoning.
