INDUCTIVE COIL WITH LAMP

Demo Number 193
Location Shelf 36
Description The light bulb and the solenoid are in series. Placing an iron-core inside a solenoid will increase the inductance of the solenoid. When this happens the energy in the magnetic field being created is used to magnetize the iron thereby increasing the drain on the current and dimming the light bulb.
