Charging and discharging of capacitors A capacitor is a component that stores electrical energy in the form of an electric field. Assemble the capacitor and resistor on the breadboard, as shown below. When you press the … more
Magnetism of matter Materials can be divided into three types: ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic, depending on how they react to an external magnetic field. Ferromagnetic In ferromagnetic materials, each atom acts like a magnet. In ferromagnetic … more
What is the difference between a magnet and an electromagnet? Let’s assume there is a small container you can’t see inside. There is a magnetic field around this container that can attract iron. Then, can you … more
Magnetic Force The magnetic force acts between two magnetic objects. Gravity only pulls, but magnetic force also has the force to push, including pulling force. When the different poles of the magnet are close, they pull … more
Magnetic field around magnet The space where the magnetic force of the magnet acts is called a ‘magnetic field.’ The direction of the magnetic field is determined in the direction indicated by the N pole of … more
Same Circuit In an electric circuit, voltage occurs at both ends of the cell. The place where this voltage is released is called ‘load’. In typical textbooks, ‘load’ is often replaced by a light bulb or … more
Leyden Jar The Leyden Jar is a tool (capacitor) created in the 18th century for storing static electricity. The Leyden Jar is made of glass, with metal foil surrounding the inside and outside of the bottle. … more
Potentiometer The potentiometer is an electronic component that allows you to adjust the resistance value freely. The potentiometer is used to adjust the volume of sound in audio equipment and so on. How is the … more
CRT TV CRT TV is an image-receiving device that uses cathode rays. It was widely used as a TV receiver until the mid-2000s. However, it had the disadvantage of being large and heavy. Afterward, it gradually … more
You can set the movement of the magnet as you wish. Observe the electromotive force generated depending on the position and speed of the magnet. Electromagnetic induction Moving the magnet around the inductor will change the … more
A cathode ray tube (CRT) is a device that produces cathode rays (a stream of electrons). The inside of the tube is evacuated or filled with a noble gas. When a high voltage is applied to … more
Oersted’s experiment Oersted, a Danish physicist, accidentally discovered the occurrence of a magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. Oersted said that he was surprised to see the compass’s magnetic needle placed next to the wire rotate … more
