5/19/2014 Solenoid & Magnetic Field in Motion

Solenoid
In this experiment, we are rolling turns of wire on a plastic rod and place it around the magnetic field sensor to measure the magnetic field that created by moving current.  

Recorded magnetic field created by different turns of coil.  Base on the data to calculate the length of solenoid which is many turns of coil.  But the values of the strength of the magnetic field were not very reliable because of the orientation of the sensor.

Measured data by Professor Mason.  

Magnetic Field in Motion
We were given a coil of wire, galvanometer, and bar magnet in order to experiment with electromagnetic induction. 

We are moving the bar magnet in and out of coil of wire in this experiment.  Base on observation we found that factors such as the number of coils and the velocity in which we moved the magnet in and out of the coil contributed to the amount of current we measured.
