Part II-Graphing relationships.
Field Strength vs. Position
1. Using the Electromagnet simulation, click on "Show Field Meter."
2. Set the battery voltage to 10V where the positive is on the right of the battery.
3.
Along the axis of the coil and at the center of each compass needle starting 5 to
the left of the coil, record the value of B. Move one compass needle to the right
and record the value of B. Repeat until you've completed the table below. NOTE:
Be sure to take all of your values along the axis of the coil. You'll know you're on
the axis because the y component of the magnetic field is zero along the axis.
