2. Data analysis for Exp 6.1

(a) Calculate 1/ T 2 and record your calculated data in Tables 1.
(b) Copy I vs 1/ T 2 data from Table 1 and paste them in the columns A and B of an Excel file.
(c) Plot I vs 1/ T 2 and fit the data with a linear function y = mx + b where m is the slope, b is the
intercept. You can search on google to find out how to do plot and fit with Excel.
(d) Record the fitting parameters in Table 2.
(e) From the fitting parameters to calculate the values of C , Bh (exp.), record them in Table 2.
(f) Calculate the % error between B (exp.) and B (literature) record it in Table 2.

5. Data analysis for Exp 6.2

(a) Calculate B(theory) using the current in Table 3. The equation of B(theory) and other quantity needed in
the calculation can be found in the lab manual.
Record your calculated data in Tables 3.
(b) Copy all the data from Table 3 and paste them in the columns A, B and C of an Excel file.
(c) Plot vs B(exp.) and I vs B(theory) , fit each of the two plots with a linear function y = mx + b
I
where m is the slope, b is the intercept. You can search on google to find out how to do plot and fit with
Excel.
(d) Record the fitting slope in Table 4.
(e) From the fitting slope of I vs B(exp.) plot to calculate n(exp.), the number of turns per unit length of the
solenoid using the same equation as used for calculating B(theory) .
Record n(exp.) in Table 4.
(f) Calculate the % error between n(exp.) and n(given), record it in Table 4.
