2. Select the values from Table 1 that have the same current, I = 0.40 amps. Make a
graph with Force on the vertical axis and wire length (1L, 2L, 3L) on the horizontal
axis. Use the Graphical Analysis software to plot the graph and attach a copy with
the lab record.

Objective:
The main objective of this activity is to measure the effects of a magnetic field on a current passing through a
conductive wire. In the course of this exploration, several supporting objectives will be verified, even if only by
inference. These are:
Set-Up:
1. Connect the first wire lead card in a series circuit with the DC power supply and a DMM to read direct
current. The wire card is placed between two magnets which are set on a digital balance using cardboard
spacers to avoid any interaction between them.
1. A magnetic field does not exert a force on stationary, unbound charges.
2. The magnetic force on a current running through a wire is not in the direction of the magnetic field.
3. The magnetic force on a current running through a wire is not in the direction of the flow of charges. That
is, the magnetic force is not in the direction of the current.
4. The magnetic force on a current running through a wire has a simple functional relation to the amount of
current in the wire and the length of wire that is immersed in the magnetic field.
5. Weight is a force.
2. Secure the wire card in a pendulum clamp. Attach the pendulum clamp to
a lab stand. Place two pieces of cardboard on a digital balance and place
the magnet assembly on top of the cardboard. Lower the wire card so that
the horizontal section(s) of wire on the card are reasonably centered in the
magnet gap. Tighten the pendulum clamp on the lab stand.
See the figure of full lab set-up below.
3. WITH THE POWER OFF, connect the + terminal of the power supply
to the DMM using a wire lead with banana plugs on both ends.
Theory:
A magnetic field exerts a force, FB , on a moving charged particle. The magnitude of FB is
Connect the – terminal of the power supply to one of the bare wires on the
wire card, using a wire lead with a banana plug on one end and a banana plug / alligator clip combination.
FB = q v B sine
(Eq. 1)
Connect the other port of the DMM to the remaining bare wire on the wire card using a wire lead with a
banana plug on one end and a banana plug / alligator clip combination.
where q is the charge in Coulombs, v is the magnitude of the velocity ( speed, m/s ) of the charge, B is the
magnitude of the magnetic field strength (Tesla), and 0 is the angle between the direction of the magnetic
field and the direction of the charge velocity.
4. Turn on the digital balance. Check if the digital balance with the magnet on top reads zero. If not, press
"Tare Print' to set this to zero. This means if the magnet feels a upward force, the reading will be negative
and positive for downward force. Ensure that it is set to read mass in grams. The wire card should not
touch the magnets, nor the balance pan.
Electric current is a collection of charges in deliberate and confined motion; thus, a magnetic field also exerts a
force on a current-carrying conductor (a wire).
5. DO NOT TOUCH THE BARE WIRES OR THE ALLIGATOR CLIPS WITH THE POWER SUPPLY
TURNED ON. Turn on the power supply. Adjust the current on the power supply until the DMM reads the
first current value in Table 1. Record the mass reading (including the +/- sign) at this current value.
The magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire depends on four parameters:
2 The length of the wire that is immersed in the magnetic field, L.
The magnitude of the current, I.
3 The strength of the magnetic field, B. 4 The angle, 0, between the magnetic field and the current.
6. Turn off the power supply. Check the
tare value of the balance. Adjust, as
needed.
The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on wires is given by
FB = IL B sin0.
(Eq. 2)
7. Fill in Table 1 by adjusting the current
to each of the four values in Table 1 for
The design of this activity is to keep the angle 0 as close to 90°
as is feasible. In this case, Equation 2 simplifies to
given length of wire (1L, 2L, or 3L) in
the magnetic field region. Record the
mass reading from the balance
(including sign) at each current value.
Check the tare of the balance between
readings.
FB = IL B
(Eq. 3)

Equipment:
DC power supply, digital balance with 0.01 g readability, DMM used as an ammeter, three wire lead cards,
permanent magnets with a fixed gap, cardboard spacers, lab stand, pulley hanger bar; clamps, wire leads and
alligator clips.
8. When done with the four readings for
the first wire card, carefully mount a
new card into the pendulum clamp. Complete the table for the four current values by recording the mass
readings at each current setting. Tare the balance between readings.
9.
Repeat the previous Step 8 of this procedure for the third wire card.
