Physics 11 FHYS 214l Lab 6: Current-induced Magnetic Fields Objective Here we want to study the behavior of a current-induced magnetic field when we vary the number of loops in the current carryving wire and the voltage supplied by the battery. Background It is known the magnetic fields can be generated by the motion of electrons in wires. Electric currents are thus considered to be a source of magnetic fields. In a solenoid (loops of conductive wire), it is possible to generate an electromagnet, which behaves similarly to a bar magnet. In the diagram below, the current I flows through the solenoid. The magnetic field produced along the central axis of the solenoid can be estimated using the following equation: K B = uTJ Where N is the number of turns in the wire, L is the length of the solenoid, and u, is the permeability of free space (1.26 x 107" N/A?). If the solenoid is connected to a battery (V), the resulting current (I) will generate a magnetic field and the solenoid will have a north pole and a south pole. Solenoid
