PRELAB: ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
A. DETERMINING CURRENT DIRECTION EXPERIMENTALLY
Connect one end of the galvanometer
to the (-) terminal of power supply.
Attach a wire on the (+) terminal of
power supply. Do not connect
anything on the other end of the wire
B.1. INDUCTION EXPERIMENT I
UseNet tow to check the poles of
a compass
your magnet. Place the iron rod
inside the solenoid and connect the
solenoid to the galvanometer.
Determine the winding direction of
solenoid viewed from the left end
B.2. INDUCTION EXPERIMENT II
Set up the solenoid similar to part
B.1. Place the primary solenoid to
secondary solenoid (larger solenoid).
Connect the end s of primary
solenoid to power supply with the
voltage knob set to minimum.
B.3. INDUCTION EXPERIMENT III
Connect the secondary solenoid to
the galvanometer. Place the primary
solenoid beside the secondary
solenoid. Place an iron rod inside the
primary solenoid. Note the point
where the primary solenoid coincide
w/ the tube of secondary solenoid.
Turn on the power supply and set
the voltage to 1.5-3.5 V. Complete the
circuit by holding the end of the wire
of the (+) terminal on one hand
while holding the unattached end of
the galvanometer on the other hand.
Place the magnet outside the right
end of solenoid with the north pole
nearer to the tube. Move the magnet
until half of it is inside the tube.
Determine the direction in which the
galvanometer deflects
Determine the theoretical direction
of induced current.
Turn on the power supply and
determine if there is a deflection of
the galvanometer. If there’s none,
adjust the voltage to observe a
deflection. Do not go beyond 3.5 V.
This will be the reference point of
overlap. Place the primary solenoid
inside the secondary solenoid with
an overlap of 0cm. Connect the ends
of primary solenoid to the power
supply

PHYSICS 72.1 TIJ
Identify which galvanometer
terminal is positive or negative.
When the reading is (+), the current
flows in the (+) terminal of
galvanometer, otherwise negative
Determine the direction of induced
current and magnetic field using the
winding of the solenoid. From its
current position, pull out the magnet
from solenoid. Observe.
Repeat last two steps with south pole
nearer the solenoid.
Observe the deflection of the
galvanometer when the power
supply is on then turned off and from
off then turned on. Repeat this step
with an aluminum rod and an iron
rod inside the primary solenoid.
Repeat the last two steps of part B.2.
(except the part with aluminum and
iron rod). Perform the same
procedure by increasing the overlap
by 1cm increment. Plot the average
galvanometer deflection versus
length.
