You will need:
This experiment will try to prove that the voltage that runs through the wire can affect the strength of the electromagnet. Method Take the core and wrap the wire around it. Then tape the turns to the core so that they can’t move and affect the experiment. Then clamp approx 60cm above the ground and plug the wires into the powerpack. Turn on the electricity and then see how many paperclips you can hang off it. Remember not to change the voltage! There is a fuller description of both this experiment and others on Sophie and Keda's page What results did you obtain - try emailing them to us at - heathside@rmplc.co.uk |
