Magnetic field on the axis of a circular coil

Aim : To find BH the earths magnetic field along the axis of a circular coil using
megnoto meter

APPARATUS:- circular coil,magnetometerbox,scale power supply,

Rheostat,Ammeter, commutator, etc

PROCEDURE:- set up the circuit with the plane parallel to the magnetic
field,arrange the magnetometer S t needle is exactly on the plane of the coil and
also on the coil needle shows 0-0 deflection Now count the terminals of the coil
to the supple through a rheostat key and an ammeter in series phase, current to
give a deflection of 30 min. Compass needle keep the current is constant during
the repeat of experiment slide. The megnatometer box along the axis of coil by
steps of 1.5 cm depending upon the number of turns

The mean reading of the two ends of the needle 0 continues the process for
same distance Now,work with magneto meter onother side of the coil and mean
deflection Q2 plot a graph of variation of tanQ on both side of the coil of the
distance .the curve will be symmetrical and will have a minimum value when the
needle is of its center as shown in figure

Magnetic field along the circular coil can be calculated using the formula

BH =40nI/55r tanQ tesla

Where 0 permeability of free space

n - number of turns in the coil

r - radius of the coil

I - current

RESULT :- Horizontal component of earths Magnetic field along the circular coil is =
