Conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa with ADM3

Principle

With the help of an electric motor, which first works as a motor and then as a generator, the energy conversions from electrical energy to mechanical (potential) energy and vice versa are qualitatively demonstrated and quantitatively measured. Subsequently, the efficiency of the respective energy conversion will be determined.

Benefits

• Part of a system solution - easily expandable for further experiments
• Simple teaching by using the demo board physics
• Clear test execution by using ADM3 multimeters

Learning objectives

• Students learn how an electric motor functions as an energy converter between electrical and mechanical energy.
• The students examine the efficiency of the electric motor in operation as a motor and generator.
