Questions about RHR
Questions about Faraday’s Law/Lenz’s Rule
No New Reading for Friday
Right Hand Rules Review
Direction of Magnetic FIELD
Direction of Magnetic FORCE
Another Example of Faraday’s Law & Lenz’s Rule: Eddy-Current Braking
A magnetic field points into the page as shown. For example, this field could be created by
an electromagnet or between the poles of permanent magnets. A metal pendulum swings
into the magnetic field. What happens to the motion of the metal pendulum? Why does
this happen?

Pluck; Look & Listen
5) Repeat Several Times
Questions: What is sound? How
does it connect to motion? How
does it connect to harmonic motion?
Exercise: Standing Waves, Wavelength,
Frequency, Wave Speed
1) Work in Pairs
2) Borrow long slinky
3) Follow Instructions
Questions: What are the various
standing wave patterns you saw?
What is relationship between
frequency and wavelength? What
happens if you change the length?
