Lesson:

Slant: Magnetism can affect electrons - inducing an electric current

Demonstration 1: Induction flashlight

Demonstration 2: eddy current effect - magnet dropping through a copper tube

  • induced electric current in the tube

  • magnets apply force to electrons int he metal

  • this applies a reaction force to the magnet

  • slows fall of magnet

Project introduction: Investigating Magnetic Fields
