DemoHand-Crank Generator Lights an LED
Resource Guide
Light brightness changes with cranking.
Ask students to predict what will happen. Crank slowly, then faster; reverse direction if setup permits.
Key idea: Mechanical energy becomes electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
Ask: Where does the electrical energy come from?
Safety and cleanup: Low-voltage educational generator.
