Magnetic Fields in a Slinky.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Terry, Colin – Physics Teacher, 1995
Describes the use of magnetic field probes interfaced to a microcomputer in measuring the magnetic field in and around a solenoidal "Slinky" spring toy carrying a current of a few amps. (JRH)

Lenz's Law: Feel the Force.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sawicki, Charles A. – Physics Teacher, 1996
Describes a simple, inexpensive system that allows students to have hands-on contact with simple experiments involving forces generated by induced currents. Discusses the use of a dynamic force sensor in making quantitative measurements of the forces generated. (JRH)
