DESCRIBING MOTION
Motion is probably the first area in science that has been
thoroughly studied considering that it is one of the most
common observable phenomenon in this world and beyond.
Motion is the change in an object’s position. in order to
describe an object’s motion, an observer must know its position
before and after it moved.
For example, it is easy to say that the toy car is moving
when you see it move from one position to another. We can
categorically state that there is motion.
Another example is a clock. It is
easy to say that the second hand
of a clock is moving because
you can see it jump from one
position to another. But it is not
easy to say the same thing for
the hour hand. If you stare at
the hour hand of a clock, it looks
as though it is not moving at all.
But because it changes its
position from one number to
The hour hand moves from
10 to 11.
another, hour after hour, you
can categorically state that it
moves.

Remember these
A frame of reference is to what an observer compares the

position of an object. For an observer to say that an object has
moved, he must view the object with respect to another object,
called his frame of reference. For instance, we know for a fact that
everything in this world moves with the earth’s rotation about its
axis and its revolution around the sun. And yet, we do not see
the ground move, nor the houses and the mountains and others.
This is because we do not have any frame of reference.
A car in motion
Whenever you describe something that is moving, you are
comparing it with something that is assumed to be stationary or
not moving. The background or object that is used for
comparison is called a point or frame of reference. An object
changes position if it moves relative to a reference point. All
movement, then, is described relative to a particular frame of
reference.
No frame of reference is any ore correct than another. If you are

riding on a car, you may describe movement as if the car was
your frame of reference. However, the car is moving relative to
Earth. So if you use the trees and the ground as your
background, Earth could become your frame of reference. But
Earth moves around the sun; thus, the sun could be your frame
of reference. Even the sun is moving as part of the galaxy. This
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
means that everything in the universe is moving. There is no frame of

reference that is truly not moving relative all other frames of
reference. What is not moving in one frame of reference is moving in
another. But all movement is described according to some frame of
reference. The most common frame of reference is Earth, but no single
frame is “correct” in any situation.

Remember these
Speed and velocity refer to rate of motion, or how fast a

body changes its position with respect to its frame of reference.
Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning, it describes only the
magnitude of the rate of motion. Velocity, on the other hand, is
a vector quantity; it describes both the magnitude and direction
of motion.
Linear speed and linear velocity refer to the rate of motion

along a straight path as differentiated from the angular speed
of a body moving along a circular path. In this unit, we shall
restrict our investigations to bodies that move along a straight
path, so we will simply use the terms speed and velocity for
linear motions.
Speed (v) is the measure of the distance (d) covered by a

moving body in a given length of time (t).
distance d
speed = v=
time t
Velocity ( v ) is the measure of displacement (s) made by a

moving body in a given length of time (t).
displacement s
velocity = v=
time t
Displacement differs from distance. Distance is the total path

travelled by the moving body from starting point to terminal
point, while displacement is the shortest distance between the
starting point and terminal point. For example, a boy walked 5
steps forward and then 3 steps backward from his starting
point. His displacement is 2 steps.

Remember these
LINEAR ACCELERATION
A body in non-uniform motion is said to be accelerated. This term is

used regardless of whether the velocity is increasing, decreasing or
changing in direction. Since we are restricting our investigations to
bodies moving in straight line, we shall only consider linear
acceleration, or simply acceleration (a), which refers to an increasing
or decreasing velocity, as differentiated from angular or centripetal
acceleration arising also from change in direction. Acceleration is the
rate of change in velocity. It is expressed in such SI units as km/h/s,
m/s/s or m/s2.
change in velocity
acceleration =
time interval
Vf - V i
a=
tf - ti
where Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, and tf - ti is the

time interval between Vi and Vf.
Example:
When you pedal hard to gain speed on your bicycle, your
velocity changes. It changes again when you slow down to stop.
Your velocity also changes as you round a curve in the road because
your direction of motion changes.
Pressing the gas pedal of the car will cause an increase in
your speed, which will make the acceleration in line with the car’s
motion. When you press on the brake pedal, you slow down and
there is an opposite direction of motion. When you turn the steering
wheel, your velocity changes whether or not you speed up or slow
down as you make turn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sample Problem 1: What is the acceleration of a car that changes its

velocity from 25 km/h to 75 km/h in 10s?
Vf - Vi
a=
tf - ti
= 75 km/h – 25 km/h
10s
= 5 km/h/s
Sample Problem 2: A car is moving at 100 km/h when the driver

released the accelerator and the car slowed down to 60 km/h in 20 s.
What is the deceleration of the car?
Vf - Vi
a= tf - ti
= 60 km/h – 100 km/h

= -2 km/h/s
A body that is decelerating has negative acceleration ( -a )

Measuring Distance Using Standard Units
To describe motion further, you need to know how to measure

distance.
It is helpful to express distances in units that are best suited to the

motion you are studying. Scientists all over the world use the same
system of units so they can communicate information clearly. This
system of measurement is called the International System of Units. SI is
a system based n the number ten. This makes calculations with the
system relatively easy. The SI unit for measuring distance is the meter
(m).
For a very large distances, it is more common to make measurements

in kilometres (km). One kilometre equals 1000 meters. Distances that
are smaller than a meter are measured in centimetres (cm). One
centimetre is one hundredth of a meter. You might describe how a
marble rolls, for example, as 6 centimeters rather than 0.06 meter. A
car for example, might travel 90 kilometers. An ant might travel 2
centimeters. Can you convert 2 centimeters in meters? How many
meters are there in 90 kilometers?
What do you use to measure length? We use a meter scale for

measuring length. A tailor uses a tape measure, whereas a cloth
merchant uses a meter rod. For measuring the length of an object,
you must choose a suitable device. For small measurements, such as
the length of your pencil, you can use a cm scale.
Now, we can repeat all our measurement activities using a standard

scale and measure in SI units. Before we do that, we need to know
the correct way of measuring lengths and distances.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proper Measurement of Length
In measuring the length, we need to do the following:
1. Place the scale in contact with the object along its length as shown
below.
Figure 1 Method of placing the scale along the length to be measured
2. In some scales, the ends may be broken. You may not be able to
see the zero mark clearly. In such cases, you should avoid taking
measurements from the zero mark of the scale. You can use any
other full mark of the scale, say, 1.0 cm. Then you subtract the
reading of this mark from the reading at the other end. For example,
in Figure 1 above, if the reading at one end is 1.0 cm and at the other
end it is 14.3 cm, the length of the object is (14.3 – 1.0 cm = 13.3 cm.
3. The correct position of the eye is also important in taking

measurements. Your eye must exactly be in front of the point where
the measurement is to be taken as shown in Figure 2. Position B is
the correct position of the eye. Note that from position B, the reading
is 7.5 cm. From Position A and C, the readings may be different.
Figure 2 B is the proper position of the eye for taking a reading of the scale

Remember these
We use time to compare and measure the speed at which things move.
Time is measured in a variety of ways, usually with a watch or a clock.
Time can be calculated in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, etc. An
hour for example can be converted to minutes by multiplying it by 60 and
a minute can be converted into seconds by multiplying it also by 60. We
usually use a stopwatch to precisely measure time in minutes, seconds,
and fractions of seconds.

___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
Remember these
FIRST LAW OF MOTION: LAW OF INERTIA
When you pull the book at the bottom of the pile, the rest of the
books remained in the vertical stack. The only book that really
moved horizontally was the one you pulled out. You have observed
the inertia of an object at rest. The word inertia comes from the Latin
word “iners,” meaning “idle.” Inertia is the tendency of an object to

resist any change in motion. An object at rest or an object in motion
is under the influence of inertia.

The law of inertia states that “an object at rest stays at rest until an

outside force causes it to move, or an object in motion continues to move in
the same direction until a force stops it or changes its direction.” This is
Newton’s First Law of Motion.

Objects at Rest
Objects that are still stay that way until
something makes them move. These objects

that are still or at rest possess inertia.
Everything made of matter has inertia at
rest. Inertia keeps it standing still. If you want
to move the cart, you have to apply force to The cart has inertia at rest.
overcome inertia. The cart needs a push or a pull for it to start
moving down the grocery aisle.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OBJECTS IN MOTION
The law of inertia also applies to moving objects. Objects in motion will
remain in motion unless a force stops them. The moving roller coaster
will remain in motion unless the operator applies a brake on the
machine that will cause it to stop.
A moving car has inertia in motion. A person inside the car is also in
motion. When the car suddenly stops, our bodies move forward. If the
person does not wear a seatbelt, he/she could be thrown forward. That
is why wearing of seatbelt in a moving car is advised.
The moving car has inertia in motion.

___________________________________________________________________________

2. How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
Remember these
Newton's second law of motion explains how an object will change

velocity if it is pushed or pulled upon.
Firstly, this law states that if you do place a force on an object, it will
accelerate (change its velocity), and it will change its velocity in the
direction of the force. So, a force aimed in a positive direction will create a
positive change in velocity (a positive acceleration). And a force aimed in
a negative direction will create a negative change in velocity (a negative
acceleration).
“IT ACCELERATES IN THE DIRECTION…

THAT YOU PUSH IT.”
Secondly, this acceleration is directly proportional to the force. For example,

if you are pushing on an object, causing it to accelerate, and then you
push, say, three times harder, the acceleration will be three times greater.
“IF YOU PUSH TWICE AS HARD…

IT ACCELERATES TWICE AS MUCH.”
Thirdly, this acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

For example, if you are pushing equally on two objects, and one of the
objects has five times more mass than the other, it will accelerate at one
fifth the acceleration of the other.
“IF IT GETS TWICE THE MASS..,

IT ACCELERATES HALF AS MUCH.”

Remember these
Newton's third law of motion
For every action there is an equal and opposite

reaction.
This means that for every force there is a

reaction force that is equal in size, but
opposite in direction. That is to say that
whenever an object pushes another object it

gets pushed back in the opposite direction
equally hard.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's study how a rocket works to understand

Newton's Third Law.

The rocket's action is to push down on the ground with the force of its
powerful engines, and the reaction is that the ground pushes the
rocket upwards with an equal force.

Guide Questions:
1. What happened to the bulb when a conductor was connected in an electrical
conductivity tester ? Why do you think the bulb lights up ?
2. What happened to the bulb when an insulator was connected in an electrical
conductivity tester ? Why do you think the bulb does not light up ?
3. What is a conductor ? an insulator?
4. What objects are good conductors of electricity ? insulators ?
Remember these:
For practical considerations, all materials are classified into

conductors or insulators.
A conductor is a material that offers very little resistance to
electricity. For a material to be a suitable conductor, it must possess a
large number of free electrons per unit volume. The greater the
number of electrons, the better conductor a material is. Metals fit into
this category. All metals are conductors, although some are better
conductors than others. Silver, copper, gold, aluminum, zinc, brass,
tin, nickel, and lead are examples of metals. Copper is the most
widely used conductor, though second only to silver in conductivity,
because it is cheaper and ductile (ability of a metal to be drawn into
wire). Aluminum is now also used extensively because of its
advantages in cost and weight.
An insulator is a material that offers very high
resistance to electricity. The most common examples of an insulator
are rubber, mica, plastic, Bakelite, glass, lacquer, and paint.
Depending on how it is used, an insulator can either isolate a
conductor and prevent electricity from leaking, or store electric
charges.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember these
Metals make good conductors of heat because of their

electronic properties and also because they tend to be denser so that
heat transferred by neighboring atoms in close contact is more
efficient. Lighter or less materials like wood, air, etc. make poor
conductors of heat.
Thermal conductors are materials that can transfer heat easily
while thermal insulators do not allow heat t to pass or flow through
them.
When you are cooking , the energy transfer of heat from the
stove to the food must occur effectively. However , it is important
that the handle does not get uncomfortably hot.
Through conduction , materials will increase their

temperature because the heat can easily flow in them. Cooking pans
are made of metal because energy is passed easily and quickly
between the particles in most metals.

Infer how black and colored objects affect the ability to absorb heat
S5FE-IIId-4
Week 4- Day 1-2
Objectives:
1. Infer that black objects absorb more radiation than white or light-colored ones.
2. Perform an experiment to determine which absorb heat faster black or colored
objects
What you need:

Differential radioscope
What to do
a. Inject a small amount of colored water into the U-tube manometer. Make sure
that there are no air bubbles trapped inside the water columns.
b. Connect one end of the U-tube to the rubber stopper of the white air bulb.
c. Connect the other end to the rubber stopper of the black air bulb.
d. Adjust the water columns to equal heights by using the syringe.
e. Place the device under the sun.
f. Observe the displacement of the water columns in the U-tube.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guide Questions
a. How is the water displaced in the U-tube when the device is placed under the
sun?
b. What does this observation indicate?
c. Which absorb heat faster ? Why ?

Remember these
Radiation is the propagation of energy through space. Light

and infrared rays, for example, are both forms of radiation. A
radioscope is a device that detects radiant energy. It is basically a
thermoscope that converts radiant energy into heat. A differential
radioscope is one that functions as two radioscopes subjected to
different variables. For example, a differential radioscope can detect
which will absorb more radiant energy, a black body or a white
body.
The differential radioscope is consists of a U-tube
manometer with an air bulb connected to each end. One bulb is
white and the other is black, all other things being equal. The
radioscope is placed under direct sunlight. The displacement of the
colored water in the U-tube manometer determines which bulb is
heated more strongly, white or black.
Heat Absorption
As heat energy reaches an object it can be absorbed in

a similar manner to the way sponges absorb water. Heat enters an
object, warming it. The longer the object is exposed to the heat
source, the more heat is absorbed. Different objects absorb heat at
different rates. Some objects are excellent absorbers, while others
are very poor absorbers. Generally, dark colored objects absorb
better than do lighter colors objects.

5. Which color would be the best to help keep ice cubes from melting too quickly in
the sun ? What can you infer from this observations?
6. What kind of clothes do people wear outside in summer ? Why ?
Remember these
absorb: To take in; to transform (radiant energy) into a different

form usually with a resulting rise in temperature.
energy: The capacity for doing work; raising weight, for example.
heat: A form of energy that causes substances to rise in temperature or to
go through associated phase changes (as melting, evaporation, or
expansion).
radiant energy: Energy (as heat waves, light waves, radio waves, x-rays)
transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves.
reflect: To bounce waves of light, sound, or heat off a surface.
The sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
We see part of the electromagnetic wave as light and we feel part of its
warmth. Darker color absorb more sunlight than lighter colors , which is
why darker colors get warmer more quickly in the sunlight than lighter
colors. The lighter colors reflect more of the sun’s radiant energy , so they
remain cooler to touch in the sunlight.
Absorption and reflection are opposite processes. A good absorber
of radiant energy reflects very little radiant energy, including the range of
radiant energy we call light. So a good absorber reflects no radiant energy
and appears perfectly black. Good reflectors on the other hand are poor
absorbers . As we have seen , a dark surface also become hotter by
absorbing radiation more effect.
More effectively than surfaces with light colors. Dark objects are
not only good absorbers of heat but they are also very effective emitters of
radiation . Light- colored objects reflect more light and heat than dark-
colored objects. This is why it is better to wear a light- colored clothes
during summer.
Colors are NOT all equally heat absorbent. When light interacts
with an object, that light can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. Black
objects absorb all wavelengths of light, while white objects reflect all
visible wavelengths. They are complete opposites. Other colors absorb
some wavelengths and reflect others, which is what makes them appear
different to the human eye. Color is a result of the wavelength of light
reflected by that object. For example, an object that absorbs selectively
yellow light will not look yellow; it would be a combination of every other
color besides yellow. The color you observe is a complement to the color
the object absorbs.

Remember these:
How light behave when it strikes an object depends also on the

material the objects are made of. Objects that allow light to pass through are
said to transmit light are described as transparent. Some other substances can
transmit light but allow the light to scatter and diffuse, making it difficult to
distinguish objects that are behind them. We called these substances as
translucent. Substance that do not transmit light at all and they are called
opaque materials.

8. Place them under the sun
Guide Questions:
1. In Part A, which object is warmer? Why do you think it is warmer?

2. In Part B, which is warmer? Does the result agree with the result in
Part A?
3. In Part C, which ice cube melted first?
4. How does the color of objects affect the absorption of heat?
Remember these:
Some of the light that falls on an object may be absorbed. The radiant
energy is transformed into molecular motion, which warms the object. All
objects that absorb light experience a rise in temperature.
Dark objects are not only good absorbers of heat but they are also very
effective emitters of radiation. Light-colored objects reflect more light and
heat than dark-colored objects. This is why it is better to wear light colored
clothes during summer.

ACTIVITY # 3: EFFECTS OF SOUND ON OBJECTS (SINGING GLASS)
(Group Activity)
Objective:
 Examine some properties of sound and its effect on objects and
people.
What you need:
 3 wine glass with different amounts of water

.
What to do:
1. Pour some water in the wine glass, till it is more than halfway full.
2. Dip your finger in the water and rotate it to make sure it is completely wet.
3. Now, rub the rim of the glass well, a few times, with your wet finger.
4. Try filling different levels of water and see what happens. You could even
line up some wine glasses and make sounds from them in succession, to hear
the varying noises.
Safety Tips: When trying to create a sound with the glass, please make sure that you
hold the bottom of the partially filled wine glass with one hand. Please do not strike with
any objects because these glasses are delicate and may break if they are struck. If the
glasses break or crack, follow your classroom safety rules
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Guide Questions:
1. How will you describe the sound produced?

2. In which glass of water was the highest pitch produce?
3. What caused the production of sound?
4. How will you compare this with the musical tones?
Remember these:
Sound is produced by vibrating objects.

Elasticity is the ability of the material to transmit sound.
In this activity…
When your finger rubs along the rim, a stick and slide action occurs.
This action occurs in very short lengths and produces vibrations.
These vibrations cause the crystals in the glass to rub against each
other, therefore producing a sound.

ACTIVITY # 4: EFFECTS OF SOUND ON OBJECTS (MUSICAL BOTTLES)
(Group Activity)
Objective:
people.
What you need:
 5 to 8 identical glass bottles

 Water
 Spoon
.
What to do:
1. Place the bottles in a straight line, about 2 to 4 inches apart from each other.
2. Fill the bottles one-by-one until the water level is staggered. For example, fill
the first bottle with a small amount of water. Fill the second bottle with more
water than the first bottle. Fill the third bottle with more water than the
second bottle, and so forth and so on until all of your bottles have a varying
amount of water. when your done the first bottle should have the least
amount of water and the last bottle the most.
3. Take your spoon strike the tops of each bottle one after the other and listen to
the different pitches.
4. Strike the bottles in any order to make music.
Safety Tips: Please be careful when your bottle with a spoon.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Guide Questions:
1. What is the effect of striking the bottle with a metal spoon?

2. What produces the sound?
3. How is this related to the pitch of the sound produced?
Remember these:
Intensity is the amount of energy the waves carries per second through
a given area.
Decibel is a unit that compares the intensity of different sounds
In this activity…
The more water in the bottle, the lower the pitch will be when played.
This is because the sound vibrations you can hear come from the actual bottle,
as you add water it takes on greater vibrating mass. The less water that's in
the bottle means there is less weight that vibrates and the pitch is higher.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safety Tips: Wear safety glasses throughout the activity, Handle the light bulbs gently
as broken bulbs can produce serious cuts.
Guide Questions:
1. How many terminals are there in a lamp?
2. How are the terminals of the lamp connected to the terminal of the dry cell?
3. Infer how the bulb light?
Remember these:
An electric circuit is a closed path along which the electrons flowmotion

occurred. In order for electricity to be useful, it must flow continuously and
follow a path. There are three components to make a bulb light up: the
battery, bulb and wire that are properly attached together in a closed circuit.
If one of the clips was removed from the source or if the bulb was fully
screwed into a socket, then the bulb will not light.
The bulb will not light up unless the other end of the wire is connected
to the negative (-) end of the battery. It means that electricity cannot flow in
an open circuit.

 two 1.5-V battery
 electric wires
 scissors
 electrical tape
 screw driver
What to do:
1. Make a circuit by connecting one bulb to the battery. Put on the switch
2. When the bulb lights, add another bulb with a socket in a similar way.
3. Notice the brightness of the bulb each time you add another bulb.
4. Trace the flow of electricity with your finger.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. 1. Loosen one bulb from the socket

2. Observe what happens to the other bulb
Guide Questions:
1. What do you observe with the brightness of the bulb?

2. When you add another bulb, what do you notice about the brightness
of both bulbs?
3. What happens to the other bulb as you loosen one bulb?
4. How is the series circuit working? What can you say about this?
Remember these:
 In a SERIES CIRCUIT it has only one complete path regardless of the number of
resistances (bulbs) or loads used. In this circuit the resistances are connected one after
the other. Electricity passes through all the resistance (bulbs) and back to the source.
Regardless of the number of resistance used, there is only one complete circuit. When
one of the resistances (bulbs) is defective or not working, the other bulbs will not work
also, the defective bulb opens the circuit. Since there is only one source of current, the
current becomes less as more bulbs are added to the circuit. Thus the brightness of the
bulbs becomes dim.

 2 bar magnets
 iron stand and ring
 string
 tape
What to do:
1. Cover both ends of the pole markings of a bar magnet with a tape
2. Tie a piece of string to the center of the magnet and suspend it from the iron
stand and ring.
3. Use another bar magnet to determine which of the hanging magnets is the
north pole and which one is the south pole.
4. Now try to identify the poles of the hanging magnet using the other pole of
the magnet
5. After determining the identity of each pole, remove the tape to check.

hanging magnet?
2. How did you identify the poles of the magnet. Explain your answer
3. How do two poles of magnet interact with each other?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember these:
MAGNETS usually have two poles. The end of the magnet, which points north when
the magnet is free to turn on a vertical axis, is the north seeking pole, simply the N pole. The
opposite end, which points south, is the south-seeking pole or S pole. Magnets come in many
shapes and sizes, but each has at least two poles. Even if you cut a magnet into pieces, every
piece will still have at least two poles. It has been discussed previously in the electricity lesson
that when two same electrical charges are placed near each other, they will repel each other.
However, when two unlike electrical charges are place near each other they will be attracted
to each other. In the same manner, like magnetic poles repel and unlike poles attract.

Remember these
ELECTROMAGNETS
Electromagnetism was introduced by a Danish scientist named Hans

Christian Oersted in 1820, where he built an electromagnetic coil. He
was first to notice that when electrons flowed through a wire, a
nearby compass needle moved. This showed that there is a magnetic
field around wire carrying electricity.
On further investigation, Oersted discovered something interesting

– a long coil of wire carrying a current has a magnetic field similar to
that of a basic magnet with North and South poles.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The magnetic field of force can be made stronger by sliding a

piece of iron into the coil of wire. This soft iron builds up lines of
force and produces an electron flow through the coil of wire to
become an electromagnet.
An electromagnet is a magnet that is

made by letting electricity pass through a
simple electromagnet coil of wire wound
around an iron core. It is temporary
magnet formed when electric current
flows through wire. Without electricity,
it loses its magnetism.

The nail is the core. The wire is coiled
around the core. The electric current is
supplied by a dry cell. If you place some
pins near the electromagnet, the pins will

be attracted. When you disconnect one
end of the wire from the dry cell, no

current will flow and the pins are not
attracted. As long as the circuit is closed,
pins will be attracted due to the

The strength of the magnetic field of the electromagnet depends on the

number of loops of wire and the amount of current in the wire. In
particular, the more loops, the stronger the magnetic field created.

CODE SSFE-IIIG-9
WEEK 9, DAY 4-6
ACTIVITY: HOW DOES THICKNESS OF WIRE AFFECT THE STRENGTH OF
AN ELECTROMAGNET?
Objectives:
 Perform an experiment
 Determine how thickness of wire affect the strength of electromagnet
What you need:

(Group Activity)
 1.5 V battery
 big nail
 thick and thin copper wire with both end uncovered
 electric tape
 metallic pins
 bond paper
What to do:
SET UP A :
1. Get the battery and the copper wire. Stick one uncoated end of a thick
copper wire to the positive (+) and the other end to the negative (-) pole of
the battery.
2. Get the iron nail. Coil both the thick copper wires from the “head” of the
nail down to the pointed part (do not cover the pointed part).
3. Put the small metallic pins on the bond paper.
4. Place the pointed end of the iron nail on the metallic pins.
5. See the sample figure below
6. Observe

SET UP B:
1. Detach the thick copper wire from the battery and from the nail. Change
the wire into thin copper wire
2. Do the same procedure in Set Up A (Nos. 3 -5)
3. Answer the observation sheet below
KINDS OF WIRE NO. OF PAPER CLIPS ATTRACTED
THICK WIRE
THIN WIRE
Guide Questions:
1. How many metallic pins did you pick up using the thick copper wire?
2. How many metallic pins did you pick up using the thin copper wire?
3. Compare the two set-ups
4. How is the thickness or the thinness of copper wire wound around the nail
related to the strength of your electromagnet?
Remember these:
The electromagnet with the thick wire consistently held more paper clips
than the electromagnet with the thin wire. The difference however was not a
significant one. The electromagnet with the thick core consistently held more
paperclips than the electromagnet with the thin core. For this portion of the
experiment there was a significant difference.

Factors that Affect the Strength of an Electromagnet

Some factors affect the strength of an electromagnet. These
include the material used as core , the number and direction of coils,
and the current flowing through the coil.
Electric Current
Increasing the current flowing through the coil increases the
strength of an electromagnet. However , the battery itself can be a
limiting factor because of its internal resistance( the opposition to the
flow of electric current ) . Wiring the batteries in parallel is a good
strategy.

Remember these
Factors that Affect the Strength of an Electromagnet
Some factors affect the strength of an electromagnet. These

include the material used as core , the number and direction of coils,
and the current flowing through the coil.
Number and Direction of Coil

Increasing the number of coils increases the strength of an
electromagnet. Each turn of the coil sets up its own magnetic field
and contributes to the total magnetic field.
The direction of a magnetic field depends on the direction of
the electric current creating it. The magnetic field around a wire as
electricity flowing directly toward you creates a magnetic field in a
counterclockwise direction. If the direction of the electric current is
reversed , the magnetic field also reverses. It will be now be in a
clockwise direction.
If part of the wire is wrapped around the nail in one direction
and another part in other direction , the magnetic fields from the
different parts cancel out. This decreases the strength of the
electromagnet. Coiling the wire all in one direction increases the
strength of the electromagnet.
