REMARKS/ANALYSIS OF DATA

For part 1 of the experiment: Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Force, we can
observe the patterns or arrangement of the magnetic field with the use of magnets and
iron filings. We observe that the unlike poles attract and like poles repels. The magnetic
fields also do not intersect with each other. The magnetic field lines also always going to
the South Pole and always away from the North Pole.
For part 2 table a titled: Magnetic Force and Magnetic Field, where the voltage,
set to max, and current, at 5 Amps, are constant we also used SF 42 as our current
loop. We could observe that as the number of magnets increase, the magnet force also
increases. This means that the number of magnets is directly proportional to magnetic
force.
For part 2 table b titled: Magnet Force and Current, where the voltage set to max
is constant and the current will start at 0 Amps then increased with 0.5 A increments
until 5 Amps we also used SF42 as our current loop. We could observe that as the
amplitude or current increases the magnetic force also increases. This means that the
current is directly proportional to the magnetic force.
For part 2 table c titled: Magnetic Force and Length of Current Loop, where the
voltage is set to max and the current set at 2 amps. We can observe that the longer the
length of the current loop, the higher the magnetic force. We can then say that the
length of the current loop is directly proportional to the magnetic force.
For part 2 table d titled: Magnetic Force and Orientation of Coil, where we set the
voltage to maximum and the current at 2 amps at most. From this experiment, we can
observe that if we rotate the coil clockwise the resulting magnetic force will be positive
and if we rotate it counterclockwise it will be negative. We can also observe that as the
angle increases, the magnitude of the magnetic force also increases. We can then say
that the angle is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic force.
There were many possible sources of error for this experiment. One of these
possible sources is the constant changing of currents in the power supply. Since the
instrument is very sensitive the current can also change easily. The distance between

the wires and the magnets could also affect the results of the experiment if they were
not properly placed or not arranged uniformly. The arrangement of the magnets could
also affect the yield of the experiments.

Conclusion
There are three objectives for this experiment. The first objective is to study the
nature of magnetic fields around the poles of the magnet. The second objective is to
determine the magnitude of magnetic force on a current-carrying wire. The last objective
is to study the nature of the nature of the relationships between magnetic force and
magnetic field, current, length and orientation of current carrying wire. We were able to
accomplish the first objective with the use of magnets and iron filings. The second
objective and third objective by the use of various instruments like the current balance.
With the use of our results in our experiments, we conclude that unlike poles
attract each other and like poles repel each other. This is also based on the first law of
magnetism. Also, the direction of the magnetic field is always toward the south pole and
away from the north pole. We can also observe from the yields of our experiment that as
the number of magnets, current, length of the current loop, and angle increases, so do
the magnetic force increases. We can then therefore conclude that the number of
magnets, current, length of the current loop, and angle is directly proportional to the
magnet force. We also converted the magnetic force in Newtons using the equation

This experiment entitled Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Force can be applied in
our daily life. One of the practical applications of this concept is a compass. A compass
is an instrument used for navigation and orientation that shows direction relative to the
geographic points. The compass works by how a north-south bar magnet exerts exactly
the same sort of magnetic field as a solenoid. Another practical application of

Magnetism is the MRI Machine or a Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI Machines are
used by doctors to make intensive diagnoses without invading the patients body. MRI
works by activating a powerful magnetic field which causes atoms within the patients
body to spin at precise frequencies. The MRI machine then beams the radio signal at
the frequency matching the atoms. Then the radio signals are then shut off then the
energy in the atoms from the radio signal will then burst. Then a computer scans the
body for the frequency then translate those into a 3d images for the use of the doctors
for their diagnosis.
