Strength of an Electromagnet
How many seconds will the program show each
instruction?
1.
Welcome to factors that affect the Between each question cat will meow for 0.85
strength of an electromagnet seconds before changing to next instruction
simulation.
2. 1. Slide the voltage slider and
observe the change in magnetic
field strength
3. 2. Click 1,2,3 to change the
number of coils and observe the
change in magnetic field strength
4. 3. Click right and left to move the
nail and observe the change in
magnetic field strength
5. Good Luck! Click me to repeat Repeat instructions when Physics cat is clicked
instructions.
No conclusion Simulation is open ended and the user will decide when
to end the program

Battery (Fixed position) X = 80 Y = -113
Field lines (Fixed position) X = 66 Y = 59
Ammeter (Fixed position) X = -142 Y = -72
Coil (Fixed position) X = 76 Y = 21
Nail (Start) X = -114 Y = 64
(Click right arrow) X = 61 Y = 59

Notes:

1. Connection to Community (Purpose):

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that
a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current.

2. Objective of the game (characters, challenges, points):

This activity will address the above performance expectation in our electricity and magnetism unit. Students will
investigate how electric current produces magnetic fields by completing an inquiry investigation into the factors that
affect the strength of an electromagnets magnetic field. Students would then make a scratch program such as this to
explain their results before moving onto an engineering task where students have to make an electric speaker that
can produce the loudest sound.
