Simple electromagnetic motors help students visualize the relationship between a magnet, its invisible magnetic field, and the objects it interacts with. A simple motor also reinforces the importance of closed circuits. After exploring simple motors, students can learn what happens when an electric motor runs in reverse as a generator.

Exploring electromagnetism with students often centers around building and testing simple electromagnets, simple electric motors, and electric generators. These explorations involve both permanent and temporary magnets and help students see how magnetic fields can be used to create electric current.

In the Power Move: Manipulating Magnets to Improve Generator Output project, students expand their exploration and testing of a homemade electric generator to see how manipulating the magnets can improve the generator. After building the generator, students test with two different configurations of the permanent magnets. Questions: How does the configuration of permanent magnets affect when and how much electricity is generated? How can changes in the magnetic field help maximize the efficiency of the generator?

Mine is in the boat at the moment, but I seem to remember they have a keep plate on the bottom which you take off. They are quite powerful for their size.

Okay, found mine, which by some bizarre accident of fate happens to be in the peg bag of our vast tent. (out due to bilge issues). It's still got the instructions in the little plastic bag so I quote: Fishfinders Humminbird Lowrance Garmin Fishfinders Garmin Transducers Navigation AIS Receivers Transponders So, it's a bit of pity it served as an auxillary mallet to the said pegs this summer at Sidmouth. Still seems to work though, it found the chimney cap last week and it's now clinging to the Squirrel happily and so are all the tent pegs!

Electromagnetism is the study of how electricity and magnetism can work together, and electromagnetism is one approach to generating electricity.
