Description of Experiment

Using Faradays law to produce voltageThe coil is wrapped inside of the flashlight and the magnets that will be shaken to pass through the coil, inducing a charge of a certain magnitudeWe want to show that the stronger the magnets, the higher is the induced voltage.

Purpose of Experiment

If we are able to determine which change, either the different magnets or the amount of magnets leads to a bigger voltage change, then we could tap into the energy source for the future.

Tapping into this new force would cutback CO2 emissions and open a brand new door of renewable energy .

ResultsWe shook the magnets as hard as we could for 30 seconds, below are the results:

One magnet = 4.5 volts

Two normal magnets = 5.4 volts

Two strong magnets = 6.5 volts

Conclusion

In conclusion we learned that more magnets lead to more voltage induced into the coil.Stronger magnets also lead to more voltage induced into the coil
