In this week's discussion, post the results of the testing procedure described above. Next, post a screenshot of plots of d(cm) vs. B-1/3, showing a trendline and the trendline equation for the measurements of the dipole's magnetic field when the dipole is moved with its axis is parallel to d (aligned along y-axis). Further, comment on the plots generated by other classmates:
- Can you tell from the data which pole face of the magnet was closer to the sensor?
- How linear is the relationship between d and B-1/3. Is there evidence of any systematic errors in collecting data from the plots? What could be the sources of this error?
- Why might someone have a legitimatly different value for magnetization of the dipole? Be specific.
Finally, what additional methodical considerations or details did you use to ensure that your data is representative of the field strength of the dipole (i.e. that our model described by equation 7 is valid)?
