Conservation of Energy Lab Report Active

the purpose of this lab is to experimentally verify the conservation of mechanical energy. To do this, we will examine the conversion of gravitational potential energy into translational kinetic energy for an isolated system of an air-track glider and a falling mass.

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
