Hand Magnet Measurements
- On a smaller scale, we want to understand how the very powerful hand magnets can mimic Riad's system in terms of magnitude
- We will eventually use our magnets to set up a mock experiment using green laser light. (Red will be more effective in the future)
- By using a Hall effect sensor probe, I measured the field strength in kiloGauss and Gauss related to distance
- I might have gone a little overboard by measuring every eighth of an inch up until an inch (silly Americans)
- I measured in the center of the disk, "the off-center", and the side.
- I included a measurement with the probe touching the magnet for every combination
- There are three different types/sizes of magnets
- I also combined the same type of magnets up to 4 together
- This made for a whopping 324 data points
- I also made a version of an inventory list and a picture of what our first mini laser experiment will look like
- I have found some manuals for our equipment as well
