This App helps in interactively exploring the topic on "Magnetism" using simulations.
These simulations raise the inquisitiveness and help to experiment and find solutions like -
- Why most of the iron filings cling to the poles of the Magnet rather than the center?
- What happens to the poles when you break a magnet?
- How to use a magnetic compass ?
- Can you turn an iron bar into a magnet ?
List of simulations in this app -
1. Permanent Magnetism - Find out how an iron bar can be turned into a Permanent Magnet
2. Induced Magnetism
3. Interaction between Magnets
4. How magnetic field lines respond while moving the magnets
5. How to use a compass
6. What happens to the poles when you break a magnet
7. Identifying Magnetic field lines
8. Magnetic field lines - properties
9. Magnet picking up iron foils
10. Iron Filings and Magnetic Field Lines
11. A working compass
12. Quiz
Terms and vocabulary associated with Magnetism is briefly explained along with the list of activities.
To finish it off, you can take a quiz on Magnetism and do a recap. With both the virtual lab simulations and theory packed together, the concepts will become crystal clear.
