Box Speaker

PIRA: 5H40.32

Materials: AMP, Box Speaker, Gator Clips with bare wire on the other end, auxiliary chord (if wanted), Magnet

This demo is to show how magnets affect wire that has current flowing through it. The current flowing through the speaker wire is alternating, this means that when the magnet comes near the loop of wire the wire will bounce back and forth. Then if we set up music to it this will allow the music to be heard creating a modern day speaker.
