Current Balance Record your data and do the calculations below. Part A: Force Versus Current We choose one current loop with a large length. The larger the length the better it is, so we choose 8 cm current loop. Weight of the magnet without the magnetic force in grams: ____________________ Measure the magnetic force on the current loop for different values of current through the loop. Change the current from 0.5 Amp to 3.0 Amp, with increments of 0.5 Amp. Record your results in milli-Newtons (mN) in the table: DC current (A) Apparent Mass ݉ (g) Apparent Weight ܹ = ݉ ݃ (mN) 0.5 1.00 1.50 2.00 2.50 3.00 Find the Magnetic Field Value. Plot the force in milli-Newtons (mN) versus current in amps. Use an Excel worksheet to graph and find the best fit line more accurately, and paste a copy of your graph here showing the line of best fit and its equation: Slope = ___________ . What is the unit of the slope? ______ Convert the slope to SI units. S = _____________ What does the slope represent? (Hint: Compare with the theoretical formula. ݓ = െܫܮܤ + ݉݃ ) _______ Find the magnitude of the magnetic field, using the slope value and the length of the loop used which is ܮ = 8.0 cm . ܤ = ________________ L is constant, 8cm 163.22 162.89 162.58 162.25 161.95 161.62 161.35 1596.32 1593.28 1590.05 1587.11 1583.88 1581.23 -6.036 N/kg -6.036 N/kg -LB -0.737 Natalia Guillen Moreno Ryan Santos Ripoffs
Part B: Force Versus Length Set the current through the loop at the fixed value of 2.0 Amp. Change the current loops from 1.0 cm to 8 cm and measure the force on each one with the same fixed current going through them. Record your results in grams of force in the table: Loop Length (cm) Apparent Mass ݉ (g) Apparent Weight ܹ = ݉ ݃ (mN) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 Find the Magnetic Field Value. Plot the force in mN vs. length in cm using Microsoft Excel and find the equation of the line of best fit. Copy a picture of your graph here showing the data points, and the line of best fit and its equation. Slope = __________________ . What is the unit of the slope? ___ ____________ Convert the slope to SI units. S = _____________ What does the slope represent? (Hint: Compare with the theoretical formula ܹԢ = െܫܮܤ + ݉݃ .) _________ Find the magnitude of the magnetic field Using the slope value and the length of the loop used. ܤ = ________________ Calculate the % Difference of and : %Diff. = | ܤ െ ܤ | ܤ + ܤ כ 200% ܤ (mT) ܤ (mT) ܤ ௔௩௘ (mT) %Diff. 161.62 162.27 162.6 162.71 162.85 163.01 1597.5 1595.93 1594.56 1593.48 1590.25 1583.88 N/kg -iB -1.945 -1.945 N/kg -0.237 -0.737 -0.237 0.487 102.66%
