Faraday's Law

Probably the best in cyberland - check out all relevant tabs on top.

  Short applet demonstrating EM induction 3 Star
  Demonstration of Faraday's Law. Move magnet slowly, then quickly and notice size of deflection. 4 Star
  Same as above, but this time you move a coil in and out of a magnet. 3 Star
 
   
Lenz’s Law Nice Demonstration by visualising magnetic fields 4 Star
The Jumping Ring

Short demo. MyYoutube. 1 minute

 
 
   
Generator Applets Note that the higher the frequency, the greater the voltage produced 4 Star
  More detailed than above as you can visualise Current, Magnetic Field and Force 4 Star
  Click on the 'Generator' tab on top. 5 Star
  Very useful to explain the sin wave nature of the induced emf. 5 Star
       
Make your own motors

Couldn't be simpler, but you do need neodynium magnets. Order them online. Every class should be doing this. From Youtube

5 Star
Make your own generator

Text based. You need neodynium magnets, and led and coil of wire.

View a short video clip demonstration of mutual induction Light bulb connected to a coil is made to light by bringing it close to a primary coil 4 Star
 
   
Metal Detectors Description of how metal detectors work in terms of EM Induction 4 Star
 
   
Transformers Nice applet which gives a mathematical view of transformers 4 Star
  Click on the 'Transformer' tab, and make the current source A.C. 5 Star
Parts of a transformer Link Nice video from howstuffworks. 3 mins. 4 Star
