Contextualization

Contextualization: Faraday's Law is a cornerstone of electromagnetism, explaining how alterations in the magnetic field can generate an electric current in a circuit. This concept is fundamental to a host of modern technologies, such as electric generators, transformers, and even wireless charging for mobile devices. Understanding this law allows students to bridge theory with real-life applications and contribute to the development of new technologies.

Initial Activity

Initial Activity: Start with a short video (3-5 minutes) showcasing electromagnetic induction at work, like electricity generation in a hydroelectric plant or a basic induction experiment with a magnet and a coil. After the video, pose the thought-provoking question: 'How do you think variations in the magnetic field can be harnessed to generate electricity on a large scale?' Allow pairs to discuss their ideas briefly before opening the floor for class sharing.

This stage aims to solidify students' grasp of Faraday's Law and its practical implications. With hands-on tasks and problem-solving, students will develop critical and crucial technical skills, effectively linking theory to practical scenarios.

Topics

1. Faraday's Law and electromagnetic induction

2. Changes in magnetic flux

3. Induced electromotive force (EMF)

4. Real-world applications of Faraday's Law

Thoughts on the Subject

Encourage students to think about how Faraday’s Law is relevant to technologies that use electromagnetic induction, like wireless chargers, magnetic cards, and energy generators. Ask them to reflect on how these technologies affect their lives and how a solid understanding of this law could lead to technological breakthroughs.

Mini Challenge

Constructing a Basic Generator

Students will create a small electric generator using readily available materials to showcase the practical aspect of Faraday's Law.

1. Organise students into groups of 4-5.

2. Hand out the required materials: magnets, copper wire, small LED bulbs, scissors, sticky tape, and AA batteries.

3. Instruct the groups to wrap the copper wire around an AA battery to form a coil, leaving some ends loose for connection to the LED bulb.

4. Have students remove the AA battery and secure the coil with sticky tape.

5. Guide them in connecting the coil's ends to the LED bulb.

6. Show them how to swiftly move the magnet in and out of the coil to induce a current and light up the LED bulb.

7. Allow students to experiment with the speed and direction of the magnet to see variations in the brightness of the LED.

Illustrate the practical application of Faraday's Law through the creation of a basic electric generator, reinforcing their comprehension of how magnetic flux changes induce an electric current.

**Duration: 30 - 35 minutes

Evaluation Exercises

1. Calculate the induced electromotive force in a coil of 200 turns with a magnetic flux change from 0.1 Wb to 0.05 Wb in 0.02 s.

2. Discuss how Faraday's Law is applied in electric transformers.

3. Solve this problem: A circular loop with a radius of 10 cm is in a uniform magnetic field that changes over time with the function B(t) = 0.02t. Determine the induced EMF in the loop after 5 seconds.
