Question

Design an experiment to determine the relationship between the force on the conductor and the amount of current. In the space below, describe your procedure and results including: What were your independent and dependent variables

Answer 1

Answer:

B ( magnetic field ) , I ( current ) and Length  are dependent variables in the design

Explanation:

To design the required experiment

Given that our aim is to determine the relationship between the force on conductor and length of the conductor

First step : place a current carry conductor in an external magnetic field where the length of the conductor will be denoted as L

The magnitude of Force on the conductor will be :

F = B*I*XL = B*I*Lsin∅

lets assume ∅ = 90°   then   F ∝ L  ( Force is directly proportional to the length of the conductor )

hence : Dependent variables here are : B ( magnetic field ) , I ( current ) and Length
