Description
This work summarizes a project-based learning experience around electricity and magnetism at the university level. The challenge for students was to build a mechanical balance with the capacity of measure the mass of different objects using a relationship between voltage and mass without using a microprocessor. The typical solution of this project must be relied on mechanical and electromagnetic calculations and experimental tests to verify the data. The balance prototype was built using a solenoid enable to generate a magnetic force at one end of the balance arm, while the mass to be measured is placed on the other arm.
