    Magnetic Compass

    A magnetic compass can be used to map the magnetic field of the Earth. Similarly, it can be used to
    map the magnetic field of shapes such as horseshoe and loudspeaker magnets. Use a small
    magnetic compass to map the magnetic field around a fridge magnet and other similar compasses.
    Make a sketch of each of the following stations:

    Switch

    Instructions:

    1. First identify which end of the compass needle is the north and south of a magnet by
    holding a known bar magnet up against it.
    2. In each case use your right hand grip rule to predict the direction of the hand held compass
    needles.
    3. Describe using diagrams your understanding of the magnetic fields and movement of the
    compass needle to demonstrate the correct direction of the magnetic field created.
    Electromagnetic Induction
    Part A: Inducing current by electromagnet
     Set up the following experiment using 2 solenoids, 2 wires, 3 retort stands, micro
    Galvanometer, power pack and voltmeter:

    Micro Galvanometer

    Power Pack (10V)

    On/Off switch

     By changing the power pack voltage and the number of retort stand within the two
    solenoids make observations of the deflection on the micro Galvanometer when the
    power is switched on and off.
     Note that the induced voltage only occurs when there is a changing current in the
    first solenoid (when the power is turned on and off).
     Explain the physics of why this is happening referring to the fact that  = -/t.

    Part B: Inducing current by a bar magnet


     Set up the following experiment using a solenoid, 2 wires, micro Galvanometer and a
    bar magnet:

    Micro Galvanometer

    Bar Magnet

     Move the bar magnet in and out of the solenoid (or preferably drop it through the
    centre) and observe the result.
     Move the bar magnet in and out and different speeds and observe the result.
     Explain the physics of why this is happening referring to the fact that  = -/t.
    Part C: Inducing current by changing current
     Set up the following experiment using 2 solenoids, 2 wires, 3 retort stands, micro
    Galvanometer, power pack, rheostat (variable resistor) and voltmeter:

    Micro Galvanometer

    Power Pack (10V)

    Rheostat

     Turn on the power pack and by changing the variable resistor (rheostat) make
    observations of the deflection on the micro Galvanometer.
     Note that the induced voltage only occurs when there is a changing current in the
    first solenoid.
     Explain the physics of why this is happening referring to the fact that  = -/t.
