K7-04: RL CIRCUIT - FIELD COLLAPSE WITH FLUORESCENT BULB
- K7-04
- Demonstrate the magnitude of induced voltage
- A 9-volt battery is connected across a large inductor; pushing the red button disconnects the inductor from the battery and immediately connects it across a fluorescent light tube. Collapse of the magnetic field in the inductor induces a voltage large enough to cause the fluorescent bulb to flash - well over 100 volts, or over ten times the voltage of the battery.
