Electromagnetism Investigation

Aim:- To investigate factors affect the strength of an electromagnet.

Keywords:

1) Choose a independent variable to investigate:

2) Choose a range of values to test for this variable (e.g. eight readings between 5 turns
and 30 turns):

3) How will you test the strength of the magnet? This will be the dependent variable.

4) Make a prediction about what you think will happen.

5) In a scientific test, it is important that only one independent variable changes. Why?
What will you keep constant in this investigation? What do we call these variables?

6) Draw a diagram of your experiment

7) Record your results in a table, including repeats and averages. Why should you repeat
your results?

Reading one Reading two Average

8) Draw a graph of your results

Make sure that you

 attach the graph
 Include a title
 Include axes labels with units
 Choose your scale so that the points fill half of the available grid in each direction.

9) What do your results show? Is there a pattern?

10) Are your results repeatable? Was there any way that your experiment could have been
improved?

11) How could you check whether your results are reproducible? Describe your approach
below.
