Task 3

Make this activity and the results paste it in your lab book.

Place a magnet between two thin books.

Place the wax paper on top make sure the waxy side faces

upwards.
Carefully sprinkle the iron filings over the waxed paper top it

gently to outline the shape of the magnetic field.

Heat the paper -Ask your teacher to help you.

Task 4

The pattern that you get represents the magnetic field that is the
region where you can find magnetism. But you can also plot the
field pattern using a small compass. Lets see it!

Put a magnet in the middle of a

paper. Draw round the magnet to
mark its position. Keep the magnet
and paper in the same place for the
rest of the activity.
Put a dot on the paper near one end
of the magnet. Place the compass
so that one end of its needle is
next to the dot. Mark the position
of the other end of the needle with
another dot.
Move the compass so that the first end of

the needle points to the last dot you

made..and so until you have a row of dots
which reaches the magnet again or the
edge of the paper.
 Join up the dots with a smooth curve. You have now drawn a
field line.
Repeat from a different dot by the magnet. Do this about ten
times until you have drawn a full field pattern round the
magnet.

At the end paste the paper in your lab book
