Conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy

Principle

The filament lamps used in this experiment have very different power levels. It should be made clear to the pupils that pulling more strongly on the fishing line transmits more mechanical energy.

Once the physical relationships between voltage, current and power are understood, more detailed observations on the generation of electricity can be carried out in the additional tasks.

Task

Are you able to get a filament lamp to light up by turning the shaft of a generator?
