LAB 5 - AC, DC GENERATOR & ELECTRIC MOTOR
(As in all other labs - it is important that you use your own words in descriptions - plagiarism will be penalized).

1) Go to the following page:
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electromag/java/generator/dc.html
using your own words, briefly explain the operation of the device seen in this page.
What is the purpose of the split ring seen in the animation?
Explain the graph.

2) Go to the following page:
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electromag/java/generator/ac.html
Explain the operation of this device.
What is the difference between this equipment and a DC generator.

3) Go to the following page:
http://home.a-city.de/walter.fendt/phe/electricmotor.htm
Nothing to hand in from this part. Make sure you know how the DC motor works - also note that this animation uses conventional current, not electron flow.

What to hand in:
Answers to 1) and 2)
LAB 6 - CATHODE RAY TUBE
1) An introduction to the cathode ray tube, go to the following page:
http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/AtomicStructure/Disc-of-Electron-Images.html

2) A simulation of a cathode ray tube, go to the following page:
http://surendranath.tripod.com/Thomson/ThomsonApplet.html
Use the third left hand rule to identify what is happening in the simulation. Identify the magnetic and electric fields that will deflect the beam to:
a) the north east quadrant;
b) the north west quadrant
c) the south east quadrant; and
d) the south west quadrant.

3) Most of everything you need to know about cathode ray tubes:
