ANALYSIS/ INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

The first part involves different set-ups involving two distinct types of magnet, the bar

magnet and u-magnet.aIt was observed then on the first set-up (like poles of a bar magnet) that

magnets with the same pole facing each other most likely repel each other thus resulted in a

diamond formation of iron fillings.aThe second set-up (unlike poles of a bar magnet), rather

showed attraction towards each other hence formed a circular pattern of iron fillings. Third set-up

involves U-magnets with their unlike poles facing each other. U-magnets are just like bar magnets

which has its own north and south pole and is almost the same as the second set-up with a slight

difference upon the bending.aSince they are bended, the poles are near one another and magnetic

lines flow in a direct path that travels between the poles that cause the magnetic field to move in

between the poles, they have a stronger magnetic field.aLastly, two u-magnets with their unlike

poles facing each other with an iron ring at the center was observed closely. The iron ring that was

placed in-between had a significant effect on the distribution of magnetic flux lines. It caused the

lines of magnetic field not to enter the ring therefore there is no magnetic field inside the ring.

In the second part of the experiment numerous observations were made.aWhen the electric

wires are presented to magnets, the current in that wire will experience a force and the current in

the wire is affected by a magnetic field.aThe quantity of magnets affects magnetic force so as the

number of magnets increases, the magnetic force it produces also increases.aWhen we set the

current in higher value, the magnetic force also gets higher.aSo, the strength of a magnetic force

relies upon how much current is flowing through the conductor.aMagnetic force increases with

current loops length as we change the length of the current loop into higher number, the magnetic

force also increases.aLastly, the current that passes through the loop creates a magnetic force,

changing the angle affects the amount of current that flows through the loop.a
CONCLUSION

aFor this experiment, we have observed the nature of magnetic fields around the poles of

magnets.aWe could determine the magnitude of magnetic force on a current-carrying wire and

determine the relationships between magnetic force and magnetic field, current, length and

orientation of current-carrying wire.”

“ aThe principle that was used for the first part of the experiment is one of the properties of

magnetism which states that two magnets having the same poles repel and unlike poles attract.aFor

the second part of the experiment the principle that was used is the theory of magnetic fields and

magnetic force.aIn the first part of the experiment we were able to sketch and verify whether like

poles repel of attract or whether unlike poles repel or attract.aBased from the data we have gathered

it is true that the principle is correct.aFor the second part of the experiment we found that the

magnetic fields surround the magnets and magnetic fields are the one causing the weight to the

digital balance.aWe have also observed that more magnets mean stronger magnetic force.aFrom a

fixed current of 5 Amps, with 2 number of magnets having a magnetic force of 3.92𝑥10−3 𝑁 up to

6 number of magnets with 0.01078 𝑁. 𝑎The current that passes thru the coil produces a magnetic

force.aChanging the angle, by increasing it with an increment of 10˚ affects the amount of current

that flows through the coil.aAn increase in angle increases the magnetic flux that flows through

the coil.aThe magnetic force of 0 𝑁 from an increment of 10 increases deliberately reaching

4.9𝑥10−3 𝑁 in 90˚.aThus, the orientation of coil is directly proportional to magnetic force.a

Just like any other experiments performed before we have encountered tons of errors and

difficulties. We suggest that in order to avoid erroneous data check your materials beforehand in

order to see if they’re functioning well also make it a habit to restart the digital weighing scale in

order to have a more precise reading.
