Lab #16: Magnetic Field in a Slinky
3/11/2013
Analysis:
The magnetic field (B) strength of the solenoid depends linearly on the current and there is a positive linear relationship between them, so as the current increases, the magnetic filed strength increases as well (equation: B = μ0 nI/d).
The magnetic field strength increases as the number of turns per length increases.

Reflection:
This lab helped me understand the relationship between the number of turns per meter, the current in solenoid, and the magnetic field.
