Science of Electricity – How Winding Affects Voltage Lab – Student

Summary

Students wind a copper coil, move a neodymium magnet through it, and measure peak voltage across three trials to investigate how the number of windings affects electricity generation. The handout walks groups through setup, data collection, class data sharing, optional graphing, and seven analysis questions connecting the experiment to real-world generators. Works well in a middle school or high school physical science or energy unit alongside the teacher guide for this lab.
