Variazioni sperimentali su un tema della simulazione dell’esame di Stato

In this article we describe and analyse an experiment on magnetic induction performed using an apparatus inspired by one of the problems proposed in the latest simulation of the final State exam for Physics. The experimental measurements are in good agreement with the mathematical model suggested in the simulation, and we propose an experimental verification, complete with error analysis, of the various questions posed in the problem. We then describe how the apparatus, with minor modifications, can be used to introduce other topics which are relevant for the Physics curriculum in the final year of Liceo Scientifico: we propose an analysis of the phenomenon of magnetic damping, and a brief introductory demonstration on the behaviour of LEDs.
