Geomagnetism and Induced Voltage
Abdul-Razzaq, W.; Biller, R. D.
Physics Education, v45 n4 p368-371 Jul 2010
Introductory physics laboratories have seen an influx of "conceptual integrated science" over time in their classrooms with elements of other sciences such as chemistry, biology, Earth science, and astronomy. We describe a laboratory to introduce this development, as it attracts attention to the voltage induced in the human brain as it is initiated by the change in the magnetic flux due to the Earth's magnetic field and movement. This simple and enjoyable experiment will demonstrate how basic concepts in physics and geology can help us think about possible health effects due to the induced voltage. (Contains 1 table and 3 figures.)
