Max 3 from:

  • Use a variable resistor to change the current and an ammeter to measure
  • Record the change in mass on the balance
  • Record the length of wire in the magnetic field – measure using 15 cm ruler/callipers

Accuracy:

  • Wire must be clamped securely so that it cannot move
  • Wire should be perpendicular to field
  • Tare the balance before the experiment begins

Safety:

  • Wire may become hot – take readings quickly and turn off between each reading

Full marks only if safety/accuracy point included

Need to determine intercept to check relationship –

\textrm{Intercept}: y = mx + c\\

c = 9.5\\

Conclusion: this does prove the relationship as this is a straight line through the origin but there must be a systematic error

OR

This does not prove the relationship as there is not a straight line through the origin

If \(\theta\) graph drawn allow one mark for stating it is cosine graph

Question

Answer

1

Draw a graph using the data. Note that the mass is given in grams and needs to be converted to kg. The gradient of the graph is 4.0 × 10−4 kg A−1. This gives a magnetic field of 0.08 T.

2

The variable resistor is used to limit the current through the wire and to prevent it overheating.

3

The force will be reduced because \(F = BIL\sin \theta \) and now \(\theta\) is less than 90°
