The day began with a little exercise regarding the direction of the force with regards to a current carrying wire going in the up direction. We then talked about the magnetic force in relationship with current and magnetic field. We also drew a graph of what the magnetic field with respect to time would look like.
We then examined how the magnetic field would look like using Logger Pro and we got a resulting graph shown below.
Mason then did an experiment of how a magnetic field could lift up a uniform ring depending on the density of the ring.
We then tired to draw an example of how the field was supposed to look like and how the current as well as the magnetic field were directed. We also drew some more relationships between current and the magnetic field.
Lastly, we were supposed to predict how the emf and magnetic field were supposed to look like given the graph of the magnetic field.
Overall, the main focus of the day was to draw some more conclusions toward the magnetic field of a current and then draw some predictions on how if plays in different scenarios.
