Introduction This post is a continuation of the previous one, so it would be wise to read that first if you haven’t already. The question I seek to answer here is similar to the last one: Will a system behave the same if oriented differently? I’ve already shown that systems are…

Introduction Gravity is often colloquially referred to as an attractive force. We often say things like “the pull of gravity” or “the suck of a black hole.” Though this may be how we refer to gravity, Einstein’s general theory of relativity proposes the most widely accepted definition of gravity. It contends…

Introduction If you haven’t read my last post covering Lenz’s law and eddy currents, I recommend doing so. That post covers all the background information for this experiment, along with details about the setup. Okay, now that you’ve done that (or are rebellious), let’s get back into the project. In this…

Introduction Faraday’s law predicts how magnetic fields create an electromagnetic force by interacting with a circuit. Lenz’s law shares the same fundamental formula as Faraday’s but further clarifies that the induced current acts opposite the initial magnetic field. A common experiment to showcase Lenz’s law is this: Acquire a neodymium magnet…

Introduction One of the key principles for effective science is repeatability. If a reaction is produced by many different scientists in many different locations, validity is added to the scientists’ claims. Naturally, a question follows this statement as in many scientific matters. Will a system behave the same if it is…
