• 13:53, 20 April 2022 Physdemo talk contribs created page Metal Detector (Created page with "{{NewDemo|subject=Electricity and Magnetism|topic=Inductance|file1=MetalDetector.GIF}} The metal detector consists of two perpendicular coils; one hooked up to a signal generator and one to an oscilloscope. A sinusoidally varying current is sent through one coil, producing a changing magnetic field. You can adjust the frequency for resonance ( made by the inherent L and C values of the coil 7130hz for this set-up) for maximum signal transfer. The coils are then adjusted...")

With the function generator putting out a 60 Hz sine wave to simulate commercial power the light bulb lights up easily. As the frequency is reduced the brightness of the bulb also reduces until is eventually goes out altogether.

When a magnet is placed in such a way that this plane passes between its poles, eddy currents will be induced in the plate as it passes between the magnetic poles. The result is magnetic braking -- a force arises that opposes the motion of the plate -- and the plate that would othe...")

By then applying 5-V AC to the generator, it becomes a motor which can turn the wheel. Because the generator was not designed for this use it takes a little encouragement to turn the wheel. The wheel must be turned by hand at the right speed (less than one rev. per second) in the clock...")
