REMARKS/ ANALYSIS

In the 1st part of the experiment, Magnetics fields of Magnets with different orientations were observed. For its first subpart A. Like poles of bar Magnets, the magnetic fields are attracted to their opposite poles, thus it is shown that the magnets repel each other. For the next subpart B. Unlike poles of bar Magnets. The magnetic field lines of the North-pole is attracted to the South-pole. This is why in the figure, it can be seen that the two magnets are seeking each other. For subpart C. Two U-magnets with their unlike poles facing each other, it can be observed that the magnetic field lines are thicker because the poles of a U-magnet are closer to each other than a bar magnet. For the last subpart D of the first experiment, …show more content…

It is usually represented by a combination of loops that leave the N-pole and enter the S-pole. These loops are called the magnetic flux. When a charge moves in an electric field, it will experience an electrostatic force given by an equation F=qE. Also, when a charge enters a magnetic field B, a magnetic force is exerted. F=qv*B. If the charge moves in a wire, with length L, the force can be represented as F=ILBsin(theta). In the experiment, we were able to study the nature of the magnetic fields around the poles of magnets which helps me understand more about the concept of magnetic fields. We also determined the magnitude of magnetic force on a current-carrying wire. We found out that these variables are directly proportional to each other. Lastly, we also study the nature of the relationships between magnetic force and magnetic field, current, length and orientation of current carrying wires. After the experiment, we were able to fully grasp the theories, concepts and principles relating to magnetism. As an application of the experiment, magnets in medicinal area is used and somehow very effective. It is used without any medicines. It can stimulate the nerves in the body to increase the circulation of blood. Doctors frequently use this to cure ailments such as gout, arthritis and other pains with respect to the nervous
