    Electromagnet: Current Affect Strength of Electromagnet

    Uploaded by

    fizmie
    This document outlines an experiment to study the relationship between current and the strength of an electromagnet. It presents the hypothesis that if current increases, the strength of an electromagnet increases. It describes the manipulated variable as current, responding variable as strength of electromagnet, and fixed variable as number of turns. It lists the apparatus and materials used and provides the procedure, which involves adjusting current and measuring the number of pins attracted to determine strength. Data is recorded in a table and analyzed by plotting a graph.

    (a) Inference : current affects strength of electromagnet. (b) Hypothesis : If current increases, strength of electromagnet increases.

    (c) (i) Aim : to study the relationship between current and strength of electromagnet.

    (ii) variables : - manipulated variable - responding variable - fixed variable

    : current : strength of electromagnet : number of turns

    (iii) List of apparatus and materials : retort stand, insulated PVC copper wire , ammeter, connecting wire, soft iron rod, pins, 2 small pieces of wood, power supply

    (iv) Arrangement of the apparatus : Retort stand

    2 pieces of wood Soft iron rod Power supply A rheostat switch Insulated copper wire pins

    (v) Procedure of the experiment: - Method of controlling the manipulated variable: (i) Turn on switch. (ii) Adjust rheostat until current, I = 1 A as shown by ammeter. -Method of measuring responding variable. (i) Bring the pins close to the soft iron core. (ii) Record the strength of electromagnet by counting the number of pins attracted to the soft iron core.

    - Repetition. - Repeat the experiment using current, I = 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A

    (vi) Table of data : Strength of electromagnet

    Current, I/A 1 2 3 4 5

    (vii) Analyzing data : graph of strength of electromagnet against current is plotted.
