    Data are to be read live on video - we filmed the time dependence live.

    Magnetic Field of a Coil:

  • Preliminaries and Experiment


  • Experiment


    Data are to be read live on video.
    n/b: The experiment was modified compared to the lab manual because of technical problems with the Hall sensor. Instead of measuring the field of two wires, we measure the field of a coil along two axes.

    Magnetic Induction:

  • Experiment


    The magnetic induction lab is a discovery lab, that is to say a qualitative lab and there are no "hard" data tables. You can read all the information you need from the experiment video.
