CONCLUSION

Upon carefully performing the necessary

procedures of the experiment and by
interpretation of the obtained data, it is found
out that a magnet, like electricity has also its
field surrounding it called magnetic field. A
magnetic field is composed of imaginary lines
which are called magnetic flux by which their
direction is always from the North Pole
towards the South Pole of a magnet.
For a certain interaction, attraction occurs
on unlike polarities while repulsion occurs on
like polarities which happen as inter-magnet
and intra-magnet interaction. Also, there is a
region or space called neutral point, where no
magnetic field is present. When a magnetic
material like iron is placed near a magnet, the
arrangement of the magnetic field is
rearranged due to it is attracted by the
magnet. Magnetic flux never intersect
because for every point in magnetic field

represent one and only one direction. Finally,

the distance of the magnetic flux from the
magnet determines its strength. The longer
the distance from the magnet, the weaker it
is. A magnetic force is any force exerted by
magnets. In the experiment, it is learned that
the magnitude of magnetic force is directly
proportional to the current (I), the length of
the wire or simply the length (L), the intensity
of magnetic field (B) and to the sine of the
angle of inclination of the current with respect
to the magnetic field (sin ) for a scenario
where there is a constant length, currentcarrying wire. It is observed that the right
hand technique is a great tool in determining
the direction of the magnetic force using the
direction of the current and magnetic field.
When the current goes from left to right, the
resulting magnetic force is upward, yielding
an apparent weight increase of the magnet
due to interacting force to go down (Newtons
3rd law).

The primary and the greatest source of

error for this experiment is the apparatus
used itself. Due to low accuracy, the weighing
balance is recommended to be replaced by a
more accurate apparatus like an analytical
balance to fit with the data needed in making
comparisons and relations. To reduce errors, it
is advised to use large data which will
decrease the decimal-sensitivity of the data.
This is done by using a current loop with high
SF value or has a longer length. Another
method would be using the nearest linear
trend line produced by the data. By such, the
improved data would appear to behave as a
perfect line in plotting. Finally, although not a
great source, it is considered that a little
inclination of the current loop in the earlier
part of the experiment can produce parallax
errors.
