    basic knowledge on how to assign common variables to physics terms and a brief overview of the laws of chemistry dealing with magnetism is very important. This is so important because most of, if not all the equations used to determine how the Maglev trains move is derived from formulas used to calculate electric current. You have to understand the use of magnetism in

    My claim on how I fit in the geosphere is that we need paleomagnetism to be able to tell directions and even more. Paleomagnetism is about magnetism in the earth’s rocks which makes up earth’s magnetic field. The earth’s rocks are three compositional layers which are crust, mantle, and core. “...that the molten outer core is the source for Earth's magnetic field.” (pg.85) This is the main thing for the magnetic field for Earth. By having the magnetic field we fit in the geosphere because that helps

    A) A guitar pickup consists of a permanent magnet (usually with a material core such as ceramic or alnico) which is wrapped by a tight copper coil of many turns (several thousands). The pickups are mounted onto the body of the guitar below the strings which make contact. B) Pickups convert the mechanical energy of the vibrating strings into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. The permanent magnet of the pickup creates a steady magnetic field that changes as the strings vibrate. The

    in others. With research of the first ferrofluid in 1963 by Steven Papell with N.A.S.A., ferrofluids have been used to provide advancements in the field of technology. In modern times, ferrofluids are used in speakers for their relationship with magnetism and heat; as well ferrofluids are used in computer hard drives for their unique magnetic fluidic properties. Additionally, ferrofluids have potentials in the field of bio-medical engineering, including: advancements

    A magnetic field is produced in the region around a wire whenever a current flow through that wire. Magnetic fields are vector fields, they have a direction and magnitude. The formula for the magnitude of the magnetic field from a wire is B=(µ_O I)/2πr. B is the magnetic field, µ_O is the permeability of free space (4πx〖10〗^(-7)Tm/A), I is the current, and r is the distance from the field sensor to the rod. In part 1A and 1B we constantly turn off the power source and ammeter after each run to eliminate

    removed from the mixture, through dissolving and evaporation. Fourthly, the polystyrene beads could be removed in the dissolved mixture. Finally, the salt mixture could be separated, using evaporation. The reason why iron filings come first is because magnetism is a quick and easy method to separate the iron filings, meaning that it could be separated straight away, so it’s out of the way. The salt is dissolved next because the rest of the mixture in insoluble, meaning it is unable to be dissolved in water

    The Strength of an Electromagnet Introduction: [IMAGE]An electric current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field. Coiling the wire produces a stronger magnetic field. Coiling it around a soft iron core increases the strength effect; raising the current or the number of coils increases it further. I am going to investigate the raising of the current and how it affects an electromagnet. I think the electromagnet will produce a stronger magnetic filed
