Methodology
1.
Why do we treat the IOlab measurements in this experiment statistically?
We will treat this data statistically (recall Appendix 1.2) because each plateau (data collected at a constant
current) is made up of many repeated measurements of the magnetic field. By selecting an interval of
data, we can directly obtain the average (u) and the standard deviation (o) of the data within that interval.
2.
Why can we use mass as an equivalent variable for the magnetic force on the wire?
Mass can be used as an equivalent variable for the magnetic force because we cannot measure force
directly, instead, we must use an equivalent force (from the equation F = ma)
Force and mass are related according to Newton's equation F = ma, where the downward
acceleration on Earth is constant, a = g- 9.8 m/s
If we apply an external vertical force to an object on a scale, the object experiences two forces: the force
of gravity and the applied force. Therefore, the "mass" displayed on the scale readout is actually a
convolution of the object's true mass and some additional "apparent" mass (due to the applied force).
gravity + Fapplied - (Mobject + Mapparent) X a If we are (zero) the scale before applying the external
force, this effectively sets F gravity = 0 and Mobiect=O. so the expression above simplifies to:
Fapplied = Mapparent X a
Example:
We tare a scale and then apply an external vertical force. The scale readout is now
m=0.33 g, which equals 0.00033 kg. We can then calculate external applied force:
Fapplied = 0.00033kg x 9.8m/s? = 0.003234 N
(Remember to find uncertainties and significant digits when you report your result.)
Interpretation of results
3.
Do your solenoid current vs magnetic field measurements validate B=unI? Use the
χ 2 reduced
value from your plot to support your answer.
The χ2 reduced value indicates how well a sample of data represents or matches the larger
population measured. The χ2 reduced values we achieved were 0.17 and 0.21. These values are
relatively close to 1 meaning the fit is good.
χ 2 reduced is a measure of the quality of a fit. χ 2 reduced << 1 means that you either have a
good fit with possible inflated uncertainties that make it hard to tell, or are overestimating
uncertainties. χ 2 reduced >> 1 means that you either have a poor fit or are underestimating
uncertainties. A poor fit could be either because you have outliers or the linear function does not
represent the data well. χ 2 reduced = 1 means that the fit is good and the functional form
described the data efficiently
According to
B=unI, magnetic field and current are directly proportional therefore as the current
increases as should the magnetic field. When the leads are exchanged current is negative so magnetic field
will decrease,
4.
What force did you measure in step 6 of the protocol? (Report a force, not a mass.)
0.003234 N
5.
Did the force on the wire change when the leads sending current to the solenoid were
exchanged? (Step 6 of the protocol). Why or why not?
The force on the wire would only change reverse in direction when the leads sending current to
the solenoid were exchanged, as the direction of current will only dictate the direction of the
magnetic field according to the right hand rule. The sole factors affecting the magnitude of force
on the wire would be the magnitude of current, the length of the solenoid and the number of
windings.
Bonus
Suppose that the core was only inserted halfway into the solenoid. Would the magnetic field
change? Why or why not?
If the core is inserted only halfway into the solenoid, the magnetic field inside the solenoid will change.
The magnetic field strength will dampen compared to the case when the core is fully inserted. This is
because the core is made of a material with high magnetic permeability, which helps to concentrate and
increase the magnetic field lines within the solenoid.
When the core is only halfway inserted, the magnetic field lines will not be as concentrated and will
instead spread out into the air surrounding the solenoid. This will lead to a decrease in the magnetic field
strength inside the solenoid.
The magnitude of the decrease will depend on the specific dimensions of the solenoid and the core, as
well as the magnetic properties of the materials involved. However, in general, the magnetic field strength
inside the solenoid will be lower when the core is not fully inserted.

Task 3
Radioactive decay is the process of transforming nucleus from unstable state to more stable state.
The rate of radioactive decay depends on the specifications of the substance. Depending on that, we
can define the half-life as the amount of time needed to convert half of the substance from the
unstable radioactive state to the stable state.
If you know that the rate of decay for a certain substance is proportional to the amount of
the current substance x(t). Formulate a differential equation to express the previous
(i)
system.
(ii)
Solve this first order differential equation.
(iii)
If you know that for a certain substance (carboon-14), 5730 years are needed to convert
half of the substance, find the value of the proportional constant.
