generator.turbine.dragFactorProperty
is used to simulate drag ("back EMF") on the turbine caused by the pickup coil. Discussed more in https://github.com/phetsims/faradays-electromagnetic-lab/issues/11.I noticed that the field meter has a similar issue in that it appears to be "in front" of the magnet and electromagnet, but measures the inside of it. I currently has exactly the behavior of the Java sim and as I thought through what would happen if it was in the "same layer" as the compass that seemed more problematic than not. So I guess for the teacher tips, just note that it is "magical" and "measuring in the center plane" or something like that?
FEL Teacher Tips are complete, but may need minor revision as we get closer to publication. I'm holding off on the derivative sims to avoid propagating changes across multiple documents.
I decided to finish up the remaining Teacher Tips documents. Remaining TODOS:
I've updated the Teacher Tips for all sims in the suite. The remaining TODOs in https://github.com/phetsims/faradays-electromagnetic-lab/issues/40#issuecomment-2010259858 will be addressed once the sims are published.
1.0.0 has been published for all 4 sims in the suite, so this issue can resume.
The Teacher Tips have been uploaded to the website, closing.
This issue will capture things that should be included in teacher tips.
