Notes for teachers
These are short notes that the teacher wants to share about the concept, any locally relevant information, specific instructions on what kind of methodology used and common misconceptions/mistakes.

Activity No # Electromagnetic Waves

 * 1) Play with a bar magnet and coils to learn about Faraday's law.
 * 2) Move a bar magnet near one or two coils to make a light bulb glow.
 * 3) View the magnetic field lines or use a meter to show the direction and magnitude of the current.
 * 4) Play with electromagnets, generators and transformers.

This video explains about electromagnetic waves Electromagnetic radiation is self sustaining energy with electric and magnetic field components. It is commonly referred to as 'light' also known As: light, EMR, EM radiation, electromagnetic waves Interactive Simulations on Radio Waves and Electromagnetic Waves Radio and Electromagnetic Waves Evaluation question
