Khan Academy: Electrode (Distance Test)

9th - 10th
Does the distance between the copper and zinc electrodes matter? What happens to the deflection when we hold them close vs. far apart? Watch this visual demonstration to answer these questions. [1:05]

Khan Academy: Variable Resistor (Pencil)

6th - 8th
We use the inside of a pencil (graphite) to apply different 'lengths of pencil' to the circuit. What relationship do you observe between the length of graphite and deflection angle? Watch this video to find out! [1:27]

Khan Academy: Inverse Square Law (Deflection Method)

9th - 10th
An experiment to try to measure the change in the force of a magnet over a distance using the deflection of a compass. What is wrong with this approach?

Khan Academy: Series Load

6th - 8th
Why does the deflection change when an electromagnet is attached to the circuit? Does it matter what side of the electromagnet we test? Watch this video to find out. [1:11]
