Experiment 8: Magnetic Field of a Solenoid 11/17/2023 Student Name: REPORT Section Number: Instructions 1) Follow all of the lab activity steps given in the Lab Procedure. 2) 3) 4) Attach additional sheets of paper that clearly (NEATLY) show all of your calculations performed during this experiment. Results 1) If you were using a physical probe, what is the meaning of a negative magnetic field reading? The procedure normally asks you to only record the absolute value of the magnetic field. Why? Write out your answer in a clear and well supported paragraph. 2) You probably noticed that the simulation returned varying values for the magnetic field. What other source(s) of error could occur from the simulation? How would these sources of error affect calculated value of N? Write out your your answer in a clear and well supported paragraph. 3) The longer and thinner a solenoid is, the more ideal its behavior. That is, the magnetic field at the center of a longer, thinner solenoid is closer to the ideal B we use to calculate N. Based on what you observed, did your results from the simulation show this? Write out your answer in a clear and well supported paragraph. Attach your completed data tables and graphs to this page. TYPE YOUR ANSWERS IN THE PROVIDED SPACES below & in your data tables. A negative reading of the magnetic field indicates that the field's orientation is opposite to what we initially assumed. In this experiment, we only record the magnitude (absolute value) of the field because we are not interested in its specific direction. The varying magnetic field readings in the simulation could stem from errors in measurement equipment precision, environmental interference, or limitations in simulation algorithms. These sources of error can significantly impact the calculated value of N by introducing inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the data. The magnetic field outside a perfectly tight and infinitely long solenoid is non-existent, as it approaches zero. This occurs because the magnetic field of a solenoid diminishes as its length increases, following an inverse proportionality.
