MAGNETIC FIELDS

  Objective: Measure the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field The experiment involves measuring the Lorentz force on a current-carrying copper rod suspended in a horizontal position from a pair of vertical ... more

Objective: Measurement of the force exerted on a current-carrying conductor located inside a magnetic field The electric balance is based on André-Marie Ampères’ experiments on electric current. It measures the electro ... more

In the experiment: Biot-Savart law, the profile of the magnetic flux density B of current-carrying conductor loops with different radii R and the magnetic flux density of a straight wire is determined and discussed. ... more

Objective: Determine the magnetic field generated by coils of various lengths The magnetic flux density inside a long cylindrical coil is directly proportional to the current through the coil and how close together the coil windings are ... more

Objective: Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the earth’s magnetic field This experiment involves determining the inclination and magnitude of the earth’s magnetic field as well as its horizontal and vertical ... more
