Description: An "E" core has two windings (equal number of turns), one on the outer and one on the middle leg. The coil on the outer leg is connected to a function generator; the middle coil is connected to a lamp. The gap between the coils is bridged with a yoke, causing the lamp to light. When the yoke is placed over all three legs, the lamp dims significantly.
