DISCOVERING ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION: INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA PATH

We show that teaching of the electromagnetic induction can be enthusiastic to pupils, once we abstract from a classical approach, i.e. trying to indicate the direction of the current generated. One should rather concentrate on the richness of phenomena which can be explained by the Faraday- Lenz- von Neumann law. The experimental set developed in the framework of a wide international collaboration, which comprises Udine and Torun universities offers a wide choice of experiments, on different levels. 1. Scholastic teaching Typical educational paths on electromagnetic induction go thoroughly though step-by-step explanations: "-What happens if we insert the north pole into the solenoid? ‐ And what if we insert the south pole?". This path is correct but induces students to reasoning that physics is a kind of artificial word, with old instruments and specially isolated situations.
