Electricity and Magnetism

Explore the wonders of electricity and magnetism in these interactive exhibits! Electricity and magnetism are all around us, from our earth's magnetic field to the light in our home. Use your body to complete the electric circuit and discover fascinating magnetic metals.

Magnetic Field

Jiggle the iron dust inside the container, and observe magnetism and the magnetic field in action.

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction

Generate an electrical current and light up a light bulb using a magnet placed inside a copper induction coil.

Magnetic Metals

Magnetic Metals

Test the reaction of various metals to a magnetic field and discover: which are pulled or repelled by the magnet, and which are unaffected.

Magnetic Stirrer

Magnetic Stirrer

Create a whirlpool using a magnet, an unseen electric motor, and your controls of the magnetic field!

Human Battery

Become a human battery by placing your hands on the metalic spots and observing the voltage meter. Experiment with wet and dry, cold and warm hands, and even hold hands together!

Jacob's Ladder

Press a button to release electricity inside the clear tube, and observe how lightning is sparked, and the way it behaves between the two metal rods inside.

Human Conductor

Human Conductor
