THE COLLEGE BOARD: EXPANDING COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY

The College Board is a national nonprofit membership association whose mission is to prepare,
inspire, and connect students to college and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the association is composed of
more than 4,300 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Each year, the College
Board serves over three million students and their parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,500 colleges through
major programs and services in college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and
teaching and learning. Among its best-known programs are the SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT , and the
Advanced Placement Program (AP). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and
equity, and that commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns.
The College Board and the Advanced Placement Program encourage teachers, AP Coordinators, and
school administrators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs. The College Board
is committed to the principle that all students deserve an opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous
academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses. The Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP courses for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups
that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure
that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. For more information about equity and
access in principle and practice, contact the National Office in New York.

The analysis of the data is simple. If the sensitivity of the gaussmeter is 50mV/T, then the
fields in the three directions are given by
Bx = (V1x V2 x ) ( 50 mV mT )
(10-5a)
B y = V1 y V2 y ( 50 mV mT )
(10-5b)
Bz = (V1z V2 z ) ( 50 mV mT )
(10-5c)
The magnitude of the Earths magnetic field BEarth is then given by
BEarth = Bx2 + By2 + Bz2
12
The dip angle B of the field is given by

B = tan 1 Bz
( Bx2 + By2 )
1 2
