Students in AP Physics 2 were tasked with developing a system that could induce a current in a coil of wire. They would use the system and induce the current to measure the strength of their magnet. They were told to use materials normally found in the Physics lab. The video shows their efforts. After several runs, the students are analyzing their graphs and attempting to measure the strength of the magnet producing the current.
