1:45 PM Data:
1) Setup given information:
a. Coil diameter= 16.5 cm
Align the coils perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field i. Inner depth = 0.3 cm
The compass should point north then deflected by 45 ii. Radius = (16.5/2)-0.3=7.95 cm
degrees
45 degree deflection will mean equilibrium between the 2) Data collection
external magnetic field (of the coils) and of the earth's

Guide:
1) EM induction (motional) - qualitative
a. 3 coils: 200, 400, 800 turns
b. verify: I and N 2) EM Induction:
2) EM "levitation" - quantitative a. At a slow but constant velocity the induced current
a. Main coil driven by an AC 220 V source, 60Hz is
b. Base coil and an aluminium ring i. 50 -> 200;
3) Mutual Induction -quantitative ii. 100 -> 400
Driven by a triangle wave iii. 150 -> 800
Why does the wave form look like _? b. Magnetic Force from a bar magnet; magnitude
To find the Mutual Inductance, what are needed? values experienced by the coils may vary but the
total magnetic field of the magnet is constant (in
contrast to an induced electromagnetic field
Results/Experimentation:
3) Mutual Induction:
a. Channel 1:
1) EM levitation: i. Voltage reading: 8 Volts ptp
a. Voltage Across diode = 6~7 V ptp: ii. T = 5 ms
i. Period: 15.2 ms iii. 200 HZ frequency from Vin
ii. Frequency: (1/15.2)*1000=65.7895 b. Channel 2:
b. Details: i. Voltage reading: 120 mV
i. All coils heat up due to activity. ii. T = 5 ms
ii. Core heats up due to activity. c. Resistor Between Circuits: 100 ohm
iii. Aluminium ring is shot up and falls to i. 8/100=0.08 Amps (slope of graph)
levitate above the coils.
iv. Even as the aluminium ring stabilizes forces
acting upon it makes it move in place.
v. Diode Class: 1N4001
vi. Full wave rectified for the whole circuit
vii. Central Pole (Core) transmits the coil's
magnetic field
