This research studies students' functional understanding of magnetic induction, the process by which changing magnetic flux induces electrical current in a circuit. Functional understanding includes the ability to reason...

The Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials assembles scientists interested in the newest developments in fundamental and applied magnetism. Researchers can learn about abstract submissions, presentations,...

To fill the need for a tool testing introductory, undergraduates’ knowledge of basic concepts in electricity and magnetism (EM), the investigator has developed a sixty-six item, multiple-choice diagnostic exam (DEEM)....

This lesson plan contains instructions for conducting an inquiry-based lab to investigate current-carrying coils in magnetic fields. Students construct a simple galvanometer from film cannisters and other...

This activity from the Exploratorium contains an introduction to diamagnetic materials like water that are repelled by both poles of a magnet. A rare-earth magnet is used to repel grapes, whose main component is water,...
