Whether it be sticking pictures up on your refrigerator, to
an electron beam sweeping across your television set, to the Earth's natural
shield from cosmic radiation, to pigeon's finding their way home, to racking
up charges on your MasterCard, to your doctor saving your knee with an MRI, to picking up your favorite tunes off the radio--magnetism and its
induction is fundamental to our natural world and the functioning of our
modern, technological world.
Cool Lab Links
Faraday's Electromagnetic Lab
In this simulation,
you will explore various electromagnetic induction simulations to
discover the fundamental secrets of how electricity and magnetism are
tied together and what makes modern life possible.
Charged Particle in Electric & Magnetic Field Simulator
In this simulation, explore how the right-hand rule is used to define
the perpendicular nature of the interaction of electric and magnetic
forces on a charged particle.
Note the blue vector represents the velocity, and the red vector
represents the force on the positively charged particle.
