PHYS 1010 Sameer Mahmood Lab #4 Experiment #1: Methods: Firstly, I calibrated my IOLab through the IOLab software. In specific, the “accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyrometer” option. I used my mobile phone to determine the direction of North with the compass app. This was luckily directly facing towards the wall, so I was able to align the IOLab against the walls, shelves, etc. as a more accurate way to point the IOLab towards North. The IOLab was then placed in 6 locations: On the table (both y-axis facing north and up), on the floor with the y-axis facing North, beside a power supply with the y-axis facing the power supply, beside a laptop with the y-axis facing the laptop, and finally in the corner of the room with the y-axis facing North. This is a screencap of the magnetic field inconsistency throughout the room. The fluctuations throughout the data shows that the magnetic field is not consistent. This is due to the fact that only one side of the room has a light and electric outlet, and the other side is completely devoid of any electric items.
Results: This is a sample of data collection. This was taken in the corner of the room. The first little part before the big change was because I changed the orientation of the IOLab when placed on the floor. This is my data collection for the 6 locations and the magnitudes of the magnitude of the 6 locations. Near the bottom of the page, the measured and expected value of the magnetic field are stated. Earth Magnetic Field in ikj notation: (18.97i, -3.25j, 49.45k)µT
Conclusion: Expected actual Earth magnetic field at location: 53,058.2 nT Measured Earth magnetic field: 49,881.2 nT Percent difference: 6.37% Complete vector equation for magnetic field with the y-axis of IOLab facing magnetic North: [20.2i, 20,2j, -29.0k]µT
