Pico Magnetic Induction Kit

The Pico Magnetic Induction Kit provides a simple and effective method for students to investigate the concepts of Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction. A small bar magnet is dropped down the tube and, as it passes through the coil, an electromotive force (emf) is induced. The output pulse can be viewed using a Pico PC oscilloscope, a DrDAQ data logger or most other types of digital storage oscilloscopes.

The Magnetic Induction Kit can be used to demonstrate electromagnetic induction, the direction of induced currents and variation of the size of induced emf with velocity. It can also be used as a student-based investigation, either with full instructions or as an open investigation where the students research the concepts.

A suitable experiment for the kit can be viewed online at the Pico library of science experiments
You can download the instructions in PDF format.
