MAGNETIC FIELD LAB REPORT 2 3 Abstract In this experiment, radial and axial components of a magnetic fields were tested and compared to each other while a sensor is moved through a current carrying coil. The purpose of the experiment is to determine the currents in multiple areas of the coil. We also calculated the bound values/magnetic field. Strength of short and long solenoids. The position is recorded by the a string attached to the magnetic field sensor with a hanging mass. The axial field points in the direction of hte solenoid vertical axis. The radial component of the magnetic field point outward from the center to the walls of the solenoid and beyond. Using a pasco,AC/DC electronic laboratory, PASPORT magnetic field sensor, and a string to test the theory. After the experiment, we observed that the short solenoid equation is better to use to calculate the magnetic field in comparison to the long solenoid equation, we also observed that magnetic fields and current of a solenoid is uniform. Introduction Magentic fields are areas of space that a objects exhibits a magnetic flux. Magentic fields are produced by charges and changing electric field, vector fields are produced by electric currents and include microscopic currents. In this experiment we observe a solenoid, which is a wire that acts as an electromagnet when it is carrying electric current. The magnetic field sensor collects the axial and radial components and direction on the magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field can be positive or negative values which affect the shape of the graph depending on the placement of the sensor. The axial and radial components are perpendicular to each other, the axial component is the field in the vertical direction and the radial component is directed away from the field or surface of solenoid. A solenoid is a cylinder-shaped figure that has a
