Alex Millunchick, Juno Jang, William Dai PHYS 102 Lab 5 Introduction: We measured the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in various regions along the magnetic surface of the refrigerator magnet in this lab. The lab uses the magnetometer on Iolab and the concept of magnetic fields to determine why magnets are attached to steel. By creating a heatmap from the data we got, we will explore why magnets stick to refrigerators. Methods: 1) Calibrate the iOLab magnetometer, ensuring there are no metal objects nearby. 2) Cut an 8-inch section of magnetic strip, and mark out eight equal segments. 3) Using the magnetometer, measure all components of the magnetic field of each segment for 5 seconds. 4) Take 3 additional measurements from one segment to determine the uncertainty. In this lab, we will apply this uncertainty to all the segments. 5) Take a measurement of the magnetic field without the presence of any other metals nearby to get the Earth’s magnetic field 6) Enter values into heat map Data:
Uncertainty trial Average 1: - X = 2.156 - Y = -241.408 - Z = 396.371 Average 2: - X = -10.22 - Y = -101.227 - Z = 495.999 Average 3: - X = -10.311 - Y = -153.621 - Z = 468.371 Standard Error: - X = ± 4.141 - Y = ± 40.894 - Z = ± 29.696 - These error values apply to each average taken Data from each section
