Discovering the phenomenon of hysteresis in a light bulb
The project combined electricity with thermodynamics. An ordinary tungsten bulb was driven at various frequencies and amplitudes, and the resulting
A dipole oscillating in the earth’s magnetic field
The group determined the earth’s Magnetic field B using a pair of magnets that oscillate about a vertically suspended wire.
Candle in the Wind
An electric field can breakdown the insulation properties of air. This creates a mass of oppositely charged ions and electrons
Thermal and Electric Properties of a Light Bulb
The aim of the investigation was to probe the electrical and thermal properties of a commercial incandescent light bulb and
