horizontal component of the Earth’s Magnetic field by the use of an instrument called a tangent galvanometer. INTRODUCTION: A tangent galvanometer consists of a number of turns of copper wire wound on a hoop. At the center of the hoop a compass is mounted. When a direct current flows through the wires‚ a magnetic field is induced in the space surrounding the loops of wire. This magnetic flux is designated by Bi . The strength of the magnetic field induced by the current at the center of the

Experiment 1: Simple Harmonic Motion Dominic Stone Lab Partner: Andrew Lugliani January 9‚ 2012 Physics 132 Lab Section 13 Theory For this experiment we investigated and learned about simple harmonic motion. To do this we hung and measured different masses on a spring-mass system to calculate the force constant k. Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion. It is best described as an oscillation motion that causes an object to move back-and-forth in response to

Materials/Apparatus: One ticker timer One carbon paper disc One 1.5+ meter tape One test tape One stop-watch Theory: The recording timer is a device that helps you study motion‚ it is a simple electric device plugged into mains power‚ with a stylus that vibrates up and down. The stylus hits a tape that can be drawn through leads‚ and presses it onto the carbon disc below. This leaves a dot on the tape for every hit. The power source ensures that

Interpretations: 1. The time required for the objects with different masses to fall equal distances was equal. 2. The average speed of the two different masses was quite similar‚ within one tenth of a second of each other. 3. Yes‚ because physics theory says that objects free falling‚ where the only force acting on them is gravity‚ accelerate at the same rate no matter what their mass is. 4. The change in spacing of the dots tells us that the speed of the object is increased as it falls

Electric Charge Lab John Doe Physics 1130 Oct 26th‚ 2010 Objective In this lab we will investigate some properties of electric charge‚ conductors‚ and insulators using everyday objects. Theory A charged object is any object that has an excess of negative or positive charge. Most objects are neutrally charged and we don’t normally experience their charge properties. Rubbing objects together and transferring some charge from one to the other is one way to create charged objects. Like charges

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AND ITS DISTANCE FROM THE CHARGED OPOINT PHYS-232 JIANSONG HE GROUP: Abstract This experiment was performed to find the electric field strength from different distance to the charged point. The field strength was determined statically‚ by measuring its electrical potential when subjected to loading‚ and dynamically‚ by measuring the electrical potential at different location on the conductive paper. The electrical potential was measured from three
