| Description | Students use a classic children's toy, a metal slinky, to mimic and understand the magnetic field generated in MRI machines. The metal slinky mimics the magnetic field of a solenoid, which forms the basis for the magnet in MRI machines. Students use a classic children's toy, a metal slinky, to mimic and understand the magnetic field generated in MRI machines. The metal slinky mimics the magnetic field of a solenoid, which forms the basis for the magnet in MRI machines. Students run current through the slinky and use computer and calculator software to explore the magnetic field created by the slinky. |
