Laboratory Exercise No. 4: Moving Magnetic Fields

Objective

In this lab, you will use Maxwell\textquotesingle s Transient Solver to
model Faraday\textquotesingle s Law. You will model a

magnetic field moving through and around a coil to induce current within
the coil.

Calculator

Use the Ansys calculator to get the current leaving the coil as a
function of the magnet passing through the coil. You should be able to
plot this as a function of distance or time since the magnet is moving
at a constant speed.

Variables

Repeat the example twice with the magnet outside of the coil at
different distances. Keep

the magnet perpendicular to the coil.

Laboratory Write-up

Explain your results. Handing in excellent data without explanations is
not enough. There should be an introduction to the lab, figures of
results, Maxwell code (if necessary; preferably in an appendix), an
explanation for each figure, and a summary of what you learned in the
exercise.

Use App Note format for this report. Templates can be found on Canvas.
