Magnet Safety
The magnets in the Model Wave Generator are very strong. In order to separate them, students should slide/ twist them apart. Please also take the following precautions: Wear safety glasses when handling magnets. Use caution when handling the magnets. Fingers can easily be pinched between the attracting magnets. When you set the magnets down, place them far enough away from each other that the magnets won’t snap back together. When you are finished with the magnets and ready to store them, put a small piece of cardboard between them. Keep magnets away from your computer screen, cell phone, debit/credit cards, ID badges, and medical devices.
Hints and Tips for Generators
If the galvanometer does not display a reading, check the following: 1. Test the model with a multimeter. 2. Was the wire coating removed from the ends of the wire? Has the exposed wire oxidized? 3. Were the coils of wire wrapped tightly and in the correct number?
