- | The [[Vernier Track|demonstrations:9_equipment:vernier_track:]] is set up at an angle, resting on a horizontal bar attached to a lab stand. On the same lab stand another bar is attached which serves as an attachment point for a spring. The other end of the spring is attached to one of the carts that go with the track using the attachment connector made for this demo (pictured). The connector has a steel part onto which a large neodymium magnet can be placed. Since the track is made of conductive but non-ferromagnetic aluminum, eddy currents are generated by the magnet when the cart is in motion that produce a damping force which is linearly dependent on velocity. | + | The [[demonstrations:9_equipment:vernier_track:|Vernier Track]] is set up at an angle, resting on a horizontal bar attached to a lab stand.
