Analysis

The experiment about Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Force is partitioned into two
sections. The first portion is about magnetic fields of permanent magnets and the second
portion is about determining the magnetic force on a current conveying conductor.
Additionally, we shall further explore on the current, length and orientation of current-
carrying wire. Our group did not encounter any problem throughout the experiment as the
instructions were clearly defined, enabling our group to perform the procedures efficiently
and with relative ease. For this experiment, our group got an opportunity to visualize the
nature of magnetic fields with the aid of iron fillings, calculate the magnetic force generated
and determine the relationships with factors affecting its magnitude.
The orientation of the magnetic field line is that it leaves from the North Pole and
arrives at the South Pole. It also proved that magnetic field lines do not intersect with each
other because at any one point, there is only one direction of field.

The quantity of magnets is directly proportional to its magnetic force as accumulated

from our data. The relationship of magnetic force and the current and length of wire is
directly proportional as well. As magnetic force follows the formula F = qvB.
For the final part, the magnetic force is at its minimum at 0o and at its maximum at
90 from the formula F = ILBsin. Since sin0o = 0 and sin90o = 1. The relationship is proven
o

from the data we obtained.

 Conclusion

The outcomes demonstrates that the experiment was done legitimately on the grounds
that the information that are accumulated concurs with the hypotheses and equations that
were exhibited. The mapping of magnetic field lines by utilizing the iron filling shows the
behaviour of the interactions of magnets with the same or different polarity. From the sketch,
it is observed that likes poles repel and unlike poles attract.
In calculating the magnitude of magnetic force on a current carrying wire the
formula : F = qvB and F = ILBsin was used. In which all the factors of magnetic force is
directly proportional to it. The magnetic force is maximum when the flow of current is
perpendicular (90) to the magnetic field and it is least when the stream of current and
magnetic field are parallel (0).
