What is the value of the R-square value of this line? 0.9484

What can you say about the relationship of the magnetic force on the conductor and the current in the
conductor? Since the value of R^2 is close to 1, I can say that the magnetic force has significant strong
positive relationship to the current in the conductor.

Based on our experiment, the conductor is ought to be oriented in a perpendicular manner to the
magnetic field in order to maximize the magnetic force. This is consistent with the equation
F=ILBsintheta wherein the magnetic force is directly correlated to the sine of the angle theta, which is
the angle between the current and the magnetic field. Maximum range for sine function is 1 and that is
when the domain is 90 degrees.
