Description

An advanced electricity lab for electrical circuit
projects. The Electricity System 2 is an advanced
system designed to teach practical applications
in circuits. The system completes and can be used
with our Electricity System 1. Our system consists
of a set of plastic blocks which house the electrical
components (such as motors, buzzers, etc). Each
block connects to the base by two or four plugs
with 4 mm sockets. Once inserted into the board,
the circuit starts to build. All the components of
the kit are stored in a foam cushioned durable
plastic storage case.

Equipment needed:
Electricity System 1
Equipment suggested:
Digital Multimeter
Magnetic Field Sensor
LabPro
or LabQuest
or Go!Link

EXAMPLE OF USE

Dynamo – How to transform mechanical into
electrical energy
A Dynamo can be described as a kind of DC
motor used in reverse. Also known as an electrical
generator, it is a device for converting mechanical
energy into electrical energy.
There are two types of generator or dynam. Both
turn rotational energy into electrical energy. One
type involves rotating a coil inside a magnet. The
other involves rotating a magnet inside a coil (like
a dynamo found on a bicycle). Both types produce
alternating current. Therefore a DC motor is a
dynamo operating in reverse.
In this experiment, the student can verify that the
first motor is supplied with an electric voltage and
transfers the mechanical motion to the second
motor by means of a rubber band.
