•
The finished workbook page should look like the one below.
Enter Data into the Tables
26. Type in the measured values for R into the cells in the Capstone “Table 1: B = 0” for the k = 4 to k = 1 rings.
27. Type in the measured values for R+ and R- into the cells in the Capstone “Table 2: B
0, k = 1”.
•
Recall that R+ is the radius of the outer ring and R- is the radius of the inner ring. You should have measured the radii
three times and the values should go in the first three rows.
28. Type in the measure values for R
plus
and R
minus
into the cells in the Capstone “Table 3: B
0, k = 1”.
•
Recall that R
plus
is the radius of the outer ring and R
minus
is the radius of the inner ring.
29. Click open the Calculator at the left of the screen. In line 2, the default value is 0.934 T. Type in the actual value for B
(replace the 0.934 T) of the magnetic field strength for your electromagnet at the current you used (probably 3.00 A).
•
NOTE: This value is given on the Test Report that came with the electromagnet. It is close to 0.93 T at 3.00 A but varies a
few percent from unit to unit. If there is more than one electromagnet in the lab, note that there is a serial number on the
electromagnet (silver label) that matches the serial number on the Test Sheet.
30. In line 3 of the Calculator, type in the value for radius of the k = 0 circle when the magnetic field was off (B = 0). Replace
the 0.199 m value with your value.
31. In line 5 of the Calculator, replace the value 2.567 with the mean value of C from Table 1: B = 0.
32. Verify that line 4 in the Calculator is the same as Equation 12 from the Final Theory page and that lines 6, 7, and 8 are the
same as Equation 13.
