Week 12- Posts 1-3

What have I done:

 I have completed the first lab and have nearly finished the lab report for it.

What I have learned: 

After testing the effect of voltage on an electro magnet, we learned that if you increase the voltage of an electromagnet, then the magnetic field of the magnetic field will increase. Our data showed us that increasing the voltage will lead to a significant increase in the strength of the magnetic field. We believe that this is because electromagnet relies on voltage from a battery to work. If there is no voltage, there is no magnetic field. Similarly, if there is a high voltage and a large amount of energy flowing into the magnet, then there will be a much stronger magnetic field surrounding the electromagnet, as a result.

How it will help later in the unit: 

This will help us to understand the relationship between a voltage and the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet. We will need this later on in the unit while preparing for the test and the Wind Generator Project.

What I plan to do next: 

Day 1: Work on report  Home: finish report
Day 2: Begin on second lab   Home: continue on lab
Day 3: Finish Lab      Home: Work on lab report
