Analysis

The first part of the experiment focuses on the study of the movements of the magnetic field

of permanent magnets. We were given multiple sets and types of magnets. In the first part, the

group figured out the magnetic fields of different combinations of permanent magnets. The like

poles of bar magnets had no iron fillings directly between them which mean that there were no

magnetic field lines between them, thus resulting in repulsion. While in the unlike poles, they

had magnetic fields between them and attracts each other. The unlike poles on the U-magnets

showed a magnetic influences between them and it produces magnetic fields that covers most of

the area between the unlike poles. The other magnet tested was the U magnet with an iron ring

at the center and the result is there was no activity inside the ring since the ring was non-

magnetic and it is kind of expected that it will have no magnetic fields. The second part is the

magnetic force on current-carrying conductor where the group related the magnetic force with
energy. Part 2A of the experiment established a direct relationship between the magnetic force

and magnetic field. It was observed that as the number of magnets increase, the magnetic force

increase as well. In part 2B, it was showed that the magnetic force is directly proportional to the

current. In part 2C, the current loop is also directly proportional to the magnetic force. Lastly, in

part 2D, it was observed that at 0 degree, the magnetic force would be 0g because they would be

parallel so there was no activity, but when we shift it to 90 degrees, the magnetic force was the

strongest since they would be perpendicular to each other ensuring maximum activity.

Theory about the magnetic fields agrees in our results since using combination of contiuous

loops that leave the N pole and enter the S pole. We proved the formations of the magnetic fields

by using iron fillings into magnets that we are given. The bar magnets with like poles produces

an elliptical shape which starts from north pole going to south pole while the bar magnets, there

were also no magnetic disturbances in the middle of the tow bar magnets which causes the

magnetic field to refuse to attract each other while in unlike poles the two bar magnets attracts

each other which agrees to the theory that the north pole will always attract to the nearest south

pole. The U magnet with unlike poles produced similar results to the bar magnets. It produces a

magnetic field that covers the entire area. But when an iron ring is placed in the middle of the

two U magnets, the magnetic influences inside the area was now completely removed. The

theory also stated that the magnetic fields will not pass on solid objects and it became the part of

the magnetic flux. The theory on the second part also agrees on our results since the formula

derived is F=ILBsin(theta). In part 2a, as the number of magnets increases, the value of magnetic

force increases. Thus, the magnetic force is directly proportional to the number of magnets. In

part 2b, as the current increases, the magnetic force also increases. Thus magnetic force is

directly proportional to the current. In part 2c, as the length increases, its magnetic fore also
increases. Thus, the magnetic force is directly proportional to the length. And in part 2d, the

magnetic force is at its minimum if it is in parallel while the magnetic force is at its maximum if

it is in perpendicular.

Conclusion

The main principle of the experiment in the first part states that like poles repel and unlike

poles attract thus, magnetic fields between two magnets were formed. In the second part, the

group found out that the magnetic force is directly proportional to the number of magnets and

also to the current. The length of current loop while keeping the current constant is also directly

proportional to the length. The magnetic force is at its minimum if it is in parallel while the

magnetic force is at its maximum if it is in perpendicular.

In the first part of the experiment, the group proved that principles by simply setting magnets

into different combinations and placed a sheet of paper on top and sprinkled it on top. We

observed as the iron fills form magnetic field lines and sketched it. It is observed that the loops

or lines always leave the N pole and enter the S pole. It is also observed that in magnetic field
lines does not travel in solid devices like the iron ring placed between the two U magnets. In the

first table of part 2, the group added extra magnets at a time each trial and observe its mass to

compute for the magnetic force. In the second table, the group observed the relationship of

magnetic force and current and it is proven that they are directly proportional to each other same

as to its length. In the last table of part 2, the group observed that the magnetic force is at 0 or

minimum if it is in parallel and maximum at perpendicular.

In order for the experiment and the results to improvise in the first part, the arrangement of

the magnets should be closer and the iron fillings should be sprinkled properly to get a clear

observation of the formation of magnetic field lines. In the second part, the wires must be in

between the magnets properly.

Application

The heart of the MRI Machine is a large tube into which the patient is placed in a supine

position. A technician then activates a powerful magnetic field, which causes atoms within the

patient's body to spin at precise frequencies. The machine then beams radio signals at a
frequency matching that of the atoms in the cells (e.g., cancer cells) being sought. Upon shutting

off the radio signals and magnetic field, those atoms emit bursts of energy that they have

absorbed from the radio waves. At that point a computer scans the body for frequencies matching

specific types of atoms, and translates these into three-dimensional images for diagnosis.
