Electromagnetic induction, the process where a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field to produce a current, was the main concept of our study and experiment last Monday. The experiment has four main parts; and we used two solenoids of different radius as a conductor and a magnet as the source of the changing… Continue reading RHR

After doing experiments that are mainly governed by the concept of electric field, we have now moved on into the concept of magnetic field. As a child, we all have been fascinated on how a magnet works, and little do we know back then that it can all be explained by physics. The reason why… Continue reading NS SN SS NN
Capacitanz
On our fourth experiment in my Physics 102.1 class, we were able to study and learn more about capacitors. They are devices in a circuit that are used to store energy in the form of voltage. The materials used in producing them usually have a low resistance value, so it has to be paired with… Continue reading Capacitanz
Kirchoffz
When a circuit involves many series and parallel combinations of resistors, solving for the value of the current and potential in each path becomes a difficult task. Often times using a voltmeter and an ammeter would be a big help, but moving these in different places in the circuit is arduous and time-consuming. Most people… Continue reading Kirchoffz
Resistance
After learning about Coulomb’s and Gauss’ law in Physics 102, I was now able to understand Ohm’s law, especially the function of resistance (R) which is essential to the law’s equation. A series of experiment was done to show its function, as well as the the relationship between the current and voltage. To further understand… Continue reading Resistance
Equipotential..
In our first experiment day in Physics 102.1 last Monday, June 18, we were tasked to prepare a setup to identify the equipotential lines of the metal objects when an 8V power is ran through them. The setup contained a power source, 2 sets of different metal objects, electric wire connectors, (not sure of how… Continue reading Equipotential..
