Michael Faraday was self-educated, earned an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford, invented the first Bunsen burner, discovered the laws of electrolysis, and proved that a changing magnetic field produces a current. In this simulation, pupils can see and explore how electricity can be generated with a bar magnet, just as Faraday did in the 1800's. Pairs or groups can manipulate a bar magnet, a coil and a magnet, an electromagnet, a transformer, and a generator.
