Becausethepowerwasreducedto10Winthesecond experiment (experimentalvehicle load), the loadcoilwasmovedless;−5cm(left) to5cm(right) in 1cmincrements,unlike±8cminthefirstexperiment.

ExperimentalResults fromtheFirstExperiment (StaticLoad: 10OhmResistor) Figure20showsthemeasuredvoltageandcurrentas the loadcoilwasmovedfrom−8cm(left) to8cm(right) in1cmincrements. BasedonFigure20, it canbeseenthat thepower is significantly reducedwhenthelateralmisalignmentincreases,bothfromtherightsideandleftside.Halfof theload 337
