Magnet Through Coil Generates Voltage

Meter deflects only while magnet is moving.

Teaching & key ideas

What you do: Move magnet into/out of coil at different speeds. What students see: Meter deflects only while magnet is moving. Why it works: Changing magnetic flux induces voltage in the coil. Question to ask: Why is there no signal when the magnet sits still?
