This activity demonstrates the magnetic field induced by a current-carrying wire. A group of compasses are arranged around the wire indicating when a magnetic field stronger than the Earth’s field is produced. ...

This is arguably the tastiest way to design and learn about electronic circuits: make circuitry snacks! Two of Evil Mad Scientist favorite things in the world are playing with electronics and playing with food, and so it...

6.002 Circuits and Electronics is designed to serve as a first course in an undergraduate electrical engineering (EE), or electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) curriculum. 6.002 is in the core of department...

This activity is concerned with the magnetic field generated by a current-carrying wire. Two current-carrying wires are placed near each other as forces push them apart or pull them together. Materials needed,...

The Community Learning Network "Theme Pages" support the study of electricity and magnetism. Students and teachers will find curricular resources to help them learn about this topic. In addition, there are links to...
