Sumario: | This paper presents general characteristics of the construction and application of a remote laboratory whose main theme is electromagnetic induction. The design is based on a common problem in the industry, the detection of failures in rolling metal devices. It features mechanical elements, an experimental magnetic proximity sensor, a data acquisition system, and a user interface. The recording of the sensor output signal allows the analysis and interpretation of different electrical and/or mechanical phenomena. The mechanical system to be analyzed and the measurement device are integrated into a single experiment, which allows the construction of different activities ranging from the analysis of the physical phenomena involved to the analysis of the electrical signal of the sensor and its relationship with the analyzed mechanical system.
