Procedure:

1)Set-up the apparatus as shown.

2)A slotted mass of 20g is placed on a wooden block. (how to control manipulated variable) 3)The volume of liquid/water displaced is measured and recorded.(how to control responding variable) 4) Experiment is repeated by placing 2, 3, 4 and 5 slotted masses on the wooden block and the corresponding volume is recorded.(repeat the magnitude of manipulated variable with different readings)

List of apparatus :

Solenoid, PVC tube / large iron nail , iron nails/ pins/paper clips, ammeter , rheostat and power supply.

Rheostat

Ammeter

solenoid

nails

Procedure

1)Wind the insulated wire around the large iron nail/PVC tube , starting with 50 coils . (how to control manipulated variable) 2)Lower the solenoild until it touches the iron nails . Record the number of iron nails attracted by it.(how to control responding variable) 3) The experiment & procedure 4 more times with no. of coils at 100 , 150 , 200 and 250.(repeat the manipulated variable with different readings)
