Describe what happens when you vary the trigger and when you press
(RL-RC experiment)
TL without rod < TL with. Thus, the inductance has increased when the
metal rod was inserted. The metal rod will generate extra magnetic
field inside the coil, which will result in a higher inductance, since the
magnetic flux is = L*I
5. In your determination of e/m, the errors on d, I1 and D were not taken
I1
adds as a random error which is already being taken care of by averaging
6. Looking down at the coils, their magnetic field is (out of) o r ( into) the
and q being
7. Why is it imperative to keep the tilt angle and the direction of the coils
experiment)
The two graphs have the same peak (resonance f) since the latter
doesnt depend on R. However, the 1st graph has a wider peak than the
2nd, since the wisth of the curve depends on the inverse of the
resistance R.
Alternatively: When R decreases, the curve of Vout vs. f becomes
sharper and the quality factor increases. Also, the values of Vout
decreases since the latter is across the DRB.
9. Comment on the effect of a) distance b) adding an iron core to the
transformers (Da!)
a) As distance increases, the voltage across the secondary coil
decreases, since less field line will be entering the 2nd coil when the
distance increases
b) Iron is a ferromagnetic material, thus, when placed in a magnetic
field, it induces a magnetic field, which results in an increase in the
magnetic field lines, and thus an increase in the voltage across the
secondary coil.
10. Among the different configurations of the coils, which one the most
efficient and why? (Transformers experiment, part II)
F) has the most efficient configurations. This is due to the fact that the
iron core gets the field lines from the primary to the secondary coil. In
this conf., the iron field lines are along the direction of those of the
secondary coil. Thus, B is enhanced in the most efficient way.
11. Why is it that the reading of the volt-meter is 0 when we run a DC
conductors, what would happen if the current passing through the two
bars were in the same direction?
The 2 bars will attract
13. Why couldnt the effect of earths magnetic field be neglected? (Hint:
