Research Question: How does the temperature of magnet affect its strength?
Hypothesis: As the temperature of the magnet increases, its magnetic strength would
reduce.
Variables:
Independent variable: The temperature of the magnet.
Dependent Variable: The magnetic strength of the magnet. (The force required to pull the
magnet from the surface)
Materials Required:
1. 4 different similar magnets,
2. A freezer(-15 C), A bucket of ice water (temp: 0 C) and a pot of boiling water
(temp: 100 C)
3. A spring balance
4. A thick steel cuboidal block
5. String
Procedure:
1.
Take the magnet which has not been dipped in any water and connect it with the
spring balance using a piece of string.
2.
Place the magnet close to the steel block so that it attracts it.
3.
4.
Pull the spring balance until the magnet no longer attracts the block, i.e. the reading
on the spring balance goes back to 0
5.
6. Repeat step 1-5 with magnets which has been place in a temperature of -15C, 0C
and 100C respectively
Results:
Temperature of the magnet
-15 C
0 C
24 C (room temperature)
100 C

Conclusion:
If the graph has a negative gradient it can be concluded that the hypothesis made is
correct and the magnetic strength is inversely proportional to the temperature of the
magnet.
