Electromagnetic Induction Challenge
A randomised challenge covering Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law: calculating induced voltage, magnet speed, magnet strength and coil turns, plus reasoning about why a…
Electromagnetic Induction Explorer
An explorer for induced voltage, coils, magnets, and changing magnetic fields — move a magnet through a coil and watch the galvanometer, field lines and electron flow…
Electromagnetic Induction Guided Investigation
A guided investigation that builds up electromagnetic induction step by step: no motion means no voltage, motion induces voltage, and reversing direction reverses the…
Magnetic Field Challenge
A randomised challenge where students identify magnetic field direction, compare field strength, interpret compass arrows and apply the right-hand rule.
Magnetic Field Explorer
Explore magnetic field direction and strength around bar magnets and current-carrying wires using compass arrows whose direction and length show the local field.
Magnetic Field Investigation
A step-by-step investigation into magnetic fields, guiding students to observe field direction, field strength, compass behaviour and right-hand-rule patterns.
Resistor Network Challenge
Solve randomised resistor network problems by designing circuits that achieve target resistances and currents using series, parallel and mixed arrangements.
Resistor Network Explorer
Explore series, parallel and mixed resistor networks by adjusting resistor values and observing how equivalent resistance and current change.
Resistor Network Investigation
A step-by-step investigation into equivalent resistance in series, parallel and mixed resistor networks, guiding students to discover how circuit arrangement affects…
