Day 21:

Experiment #1 Measuring Earth Magnetic Field




The slope of this graph represents the magnetic field of  the earth. From the fit equation we determined that the earth magnetic field is 10.5 micro-Tesla.  The actual value is 25 to 65 micro-Tesla, and ourexperimental value is lower than the real value because of atmospheric considerations, such as the fact that we did our experiment inside a steel building.

Activity #2 Solenoid




We calculated the magnetic field of a solenoid, basically a very coiled conductor.


The calculated vs. the experimental value of the magnetic field is off by 0.04mT.
