1.

Prediction: What do you think you would have to do to make a light bulb light up by using a magnet? You can use words and/or pictures in your explanation.

To complete the rest of this lab activity, open the PhET simulation on Faraday's Electromagnetic Lab: CLICK HERE

(Your simulator should look like this. There are five blue tabs you will use to experiment with electromagnetism today.)

3.

What does the magnetic field look like around the magnet?

What does the magnet field look like inside the magnet?

Use the Show Your Work image to draw the magnetic field.

16.

How is a regular bar magnet similar to an electromagnet? How are these types of magnets different from each other?

Use the Show Your Work section to complete a Venn diagram about these types of magnets. Add at least 2 things to each section of the graphic organizer.
