ANALYSIS OF DATA

In the Part 1 of the experiment, we were tasked to set up 2 different kinds of magnets (U magnet and
bar magnets) into different combinations. After placing a clean sheet of paper on top and sprinkling the
iron fillings, I had observed that when like poles are joint, the iron fillings tend to spread out in the
middle. On the other hand, when the unlike poles are joint together, the iron fillings tend to bond and
creates no gaps in the middle. Same as in the U-magnets, when like and unlike poles face each other,
the iron fillings tend to spread out and bond together respectively. When U-magnets faces unlike poles
with an iron ring at the center, the iron filling tends to form an X in the middle meaning it bonds in the
middle.

In the Part 2A of the experiment, we first get the magnetic forces of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 magnets initially at
0 Amps to 5 Amps. We used a current loop of 37. The results were 0.2g, 0.4g, 0.5g, 0.6g and 0.8g and
was converted into kgs. In order to get the magnetic forces of those 5 samples of magnets, we must
multiply the magnetic forces to 9.8m/s². The results were 19.6x10-3N, 3.92x10-3N, 4.9x10-3N, 5.88x10-3N
and 7.84x10-3N. Based from my observation, as the mass increases, the magnetic forces in Newtons also
increases.

In the Part 2B of the experiment, we were tasked to find out the Magnetic forces in Newtons but in this
case, the Amperes used were 0 Amps, 1 Amps, 2 Amps, 3 Amps, 4 Amps and 5 Amps. We used a current
loop of 38. The weight that we recorded were 0g, 0.3g, 0.6g, 0.9g, 1.2g and 1.5g respectively. By
converting it into kilograms, we calculated it using the Magnetic force in Newtons and got the results
0N, 2.94 x10-3N, 5.8 x10-3N, 8.82 x10-3N, 0.01176N and 0.00147N.

In the Part 2C of the experiment, we were tasked also to find out the Magnetic forces in Newtons but in
this case, the current loop was given: SF40, SF37, SF39, SF38, SF 41 and SF42. The current is stable in to
2 Amps. The magnetic forces we recorded was 0.1g, 0.3g, 0.4g, 0.6g, 0.8g and 1.2g. By converting it into
kilograms the Magnetic Forces resulted were 9.8 x10-4N, 2.94 x10-3N, 3.92 x10-3N, 5.8 x10-3N, 7.84 x10-3N
and 0.01176 N.

In the Part 2D of the experiment, we were tasked to find out the Magnetic Forces in Newton but in this
case, angles 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, -30°, -60°, and -90° are involved. The current was constant at 2 Amps.
Magnetic Force in grams was recorded at 0g, 0.2g, 0.4g, 0.5g, 0g, -0.2g, -0.4g and -0.5g respectively. By
converting it into kilograms, the Magnetic forces in Newtons were calculated and the results were 0N,
1.96 x10-3N, 3.92 x10-3N, 4.9 x10-3N, 0N, -1.96 x10-3N, -3.92 x10-3N and -4.9 x10-3N.

CONCLUSION

Based from the first part of the experiment which is simply determining the motion of magnetic lines
using bar and U-magnets with like and unlike poles, I can say that with the help of the iron fillings, we
were able to determine the motions and directions of different magnets and with that, we were able to
implement the experiment properly.
ANALYSIS
 1. Are there regions between permanent magnets where the magnetic field lines intersect? If yes,
where? If no, why?
2. What does the digital balance reading represent? What does the number of magnets represent?
What is the relationship between the two?
3. What orientation of the magnetic field gives minimum and maximum magnetic force
respectively?
