    Form 2 Experiment 7.2

    This experiment studied two factors that influence magnetic field strength: current and number of coil turns. For current, as it increased from 0.5 to 2.5 A, the number of attracted pins increased from 3 to 16, showing that a higher current produces a stronger magnetic field. For coil turns, increasing the turns from 10 to 50 caused more pins to be attracted, from 4 to 17, demonstrating that more turns also strengthen the magnetic field. The hypotheses that a higher current or more coil turns increases magnetic field strength were accepted based on the results.

    Experiment 7.

    Aim: To study the factors that influence the strength of the magnetic field.

    A.The relationship between the current that flows and strength of the magnetic field

    Problem statement: Does the current flow affect the strength of the magnetic field?

    Hypothesis: The larger the current that flows through a conductor, the _____________ the
    magnetic field.

    Variable:

    a) Constant variable: The number of turns of the coil


    b) Manipulated variable: ______________
    c) Responding variable: Number of pins attracted

    Materials: Pin, iron rod and copper wire.

    Apparatus: D.C. power supply, ammeter, rheostat, Petri dish and retort stand with clamp.

    Figure 7.21

    Procedure:

    1. Set up the apparatus as shown in figure 7.21 with 10 coils of copper wire around the iron
    rod.
    2. Turn on the power supply and adjust the rheostat to obtain 0.5 A of current.
    3. Replace the Petri dish containing pins with an empty Petri dish.
    4. Turn off the power supply to let all the pins to fall back into the empty Petri dish.
    5. Count the number of pins attracted by the iron rod.
    6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 using 1.0 A, 1.5 A, 2.0 A and 2.5 A of current. Record your
    observations.

    Observation:

    Current/ A Number of pins attracted


    0.5 3
    1.0 6
    1.5 10
    2.0 13
    2.5 16

    Discussion:

    a) State the relationship between current and…


    i. the number of pins attracted:
    The __________the current, the ________ the number of pins attracted.
    ii. the strength of magnetic field:
    The ________ the current, the __________ the magnetic field.

    Conclusion:

    Hypothesis is accepted. The strength of magnetic field increases when current


    ____________.

    B. The relationship between the number of turns of coil and the strength of the
    magnetic field

    Problem statement: _________________________________________________________

    Hypothesis: The more the number of turns of a coil, the ______________ the magnetic field.

    Variables:

    a) Constant variable: _________________


    b) Manipulated variable: ____________________
    c) Responding variable: Number of pins attracted

    Procedure:

    1. Set up the apparatus as shown in Figure 7.21 with 10 coils of copper wire around an
    iron rod.
    2. Turn on the power supply.
    3. Replace the Petri dish containing pins with an empty Petri dish.
    4. Turn off the power supply so that all the pins drop back into the empty Petri dish.
    5. Count the number of pins attracted by the iron rod.
    6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 using 20, 30, 40 and 50 turns of copper wire on the iron rod.
    7. Record your observations.

    Observation:

    Number of coils Number of pins attracted

    10 4
    20 7
    30 9
    40 14
    50 17

    Discussion:

    a) State the relationship between number of turns of coil with…


    i. the number of pins attracted.
    The ______ the number of turns of coil, the ______ the number of pins
    attracted.
    ii. the strength of magnetic field.
    The ______ the number of turns of coil, the _________ the magnetic field

    Conclusion:
