Physics 212 v1.2 Lab 4 Activity In class today, you will compete to generate the largest emf using the wires from one IOLab’s E&M kit and the Earth’s magnetic field. Refer to the Lab 4 rubric while you work for guidance on how your report will be graded. Objectives for Lab 4: Generate a large, repeatable emf using the wires from the E&M kit and the Earth’s B-field; Identify the average value of three subsequent repetitions. Document your group’s process from initial design to final design. Write a short report that tells your instructor about your findings. Before you begin: - Decide who will be the Principal Investigator, Analyst, and Skeptic for today. - The Principal Investigator will be asked to give a brief report after all groups have made some progress. Today’s lab activity: Emf competition For this last lab, we are giving you a challenge: Generate and measure the largest possible emf . The rules for this challenge are as follows: - You may only use wires from one E&M Accessory Kit. - You must use the Earth’s magnetic field as your source of magnetic flux. - You may use any materials available to you to create or maintain the desired geometry for your wires. - The value that your group reports as the maximum emf must be the average of three repeated attempts. Only the magnitude matters so it doesn’t matter if its +’ve or –‘ve on the IOLab chart. - You do not need to report an uncertainty on this value. As you work on this competition, your group should document your initial design plans, challenges and observations from the initial design, revisions to improve the design, and the results of those revisions. Explain the reasoning for your design decisions, including physics knowledge or physical constraints, as applicable. You should make and document at least one revision to your design. When you have what you believe is a reasonably large result, share your results with your instructor. If another group has a larger emf you are welcome to revise your methods to see if you can exceed their value, but your score on this assignment does not depend on winning the competition.
Physics 212 v1.2 The report Write a scientific report explaining your work. Use the prompts below to guide your report. Refer to the Lab 4 rubric and the Prelab 1 Report Structure document and example report for further guidance. 1. Introduction: In 2-3 sentences, describe what the experiment was about and summarize your methods and main findings. 2. Methods: a. Initial design: Describe the initial setup of your experiment. Clearly describe the method your group is using to create the maximum emf , and how you are determining its value from the High Gain sensor data. After you try this design, briefly evaluate its effectiveness, making sure to identify any difficulties you encountered that could be resolved with revisions. b. Revised design 1: Describe the revised setup of your experiment, specifying what has been changed from the initial design. After you try this design, briefly evaluate its effectiveness, noting whether it has resolved the difficulties from your initial design and identifying any new difficulties you have noticed. c. Revised design 2, etc. (optional): Repeat item (b) for further major redesigns of your setup. 3. Results: Record the results of your experiment. Show IOLab graphs of your best maximum emf generating attempts for each design implementation of your experiment. If difficulties with a certain design version made it impossible to gather results, you may state this instead of showing IOLab results. For each successful design implementation, identify the three points of maximum emf and report the average value of these three points. 4. Discussion: a. Clearly state the maximum emf your group was able to obtain, based on the rules of this competition. b. Comment on the revision process. What decisions did your group make that were most important to getting the largest, final value you reported? Were there any decisions that didn’t seem to make a difference? 5. Conclusions: Briefly summarize your experiment and your findings. Discuss any questions that arose for your group while exploring this system, such as what would be needed to generate a much larger emf , what a system like this could be useful for, or other investigations of emf that you think would be interesting to do with your IOLab. When you are done: Make sure the names and netIDs of all group members and their roles are at the top of your report Review the Lab 4 rubric to check that your report satisfies the expectations for today’s grading. [Principal Investigator] Export your group’s report to PDF and submit it.
