Magnetic Fields















Different things were put around the top cylinder to see what would happen to them when a current was put through the coils.










A magnet and a non-magnet were dropped down the two pipes to what would happen. 






The whole period was about magnetic fields, which includes induces magnetic fields from currents moving in a spiral. Two experiments were done, one to see what would happen to different materials when put through an induced material, and another to see what happen when a magnet and a non-magnet are dropped down metal pipes. The calculations we did were on emfs, flux, magnetic force, and magnetic fields.

The magnetized clip was heated up to demagnetize it.









The motor spins when a current is put through it.




We made our own motor.




The arrows point in the direction of the magnetic field when a current is put through the rod.






We were to figure out the strength of the magnetic field at the question marks.


We went over how magnets work and about magnetic fields. The calculations we did were focused on the torque from magnetic fields. We also went over motors that run off of electric currents and magnetic fields and made one.
