Types of Magnets (cont.)
machine
Uses of Magnets
Alternative:
• The various temperature zones will
significantly affect the magnets’
strengths.
Materials
• -80°C Freezer
• -20°C Freezer
• -4°C Refrigerator
• Room at 20°C
• 45°C Incubator
• 100° Drying Oven
• 30 Ceramic Magnets
• Extech True RMS Digital
Multimeter
• Gauss Attachment
• Tongs
• Gloves
• HP 39GS Graphing Calculator
Procedure
1. 30 magnets were labeled (1-5) for 6
different temperature zones.
2. The magnetic strength of each
magnet was measured with a voltage
meter, and converted to Gauss using
the following equation:
B = 1000*(V0-V1)/k.
3. The 5 magnets of each group were
placed into the following
environments:
-80°C Freezer
-20°C Freezer
4°C Refrigerator
Room Temperature
Incubator – 45° C
Drying Oven – 100° C
