Room setup

Stuff for mapping B fields: two bar magnets,
two compasses, coil with two 36" or
48" wires

An old computer is set up

Use the monitor for B field distortion

Fun with magnets

Whoa!

The square coil is set up on the movable
table on the side of the room

Square coil setup

LabVolt power supply; connect to DC side

Use 'gators to connect to coil wires

"Jumping wire" is set up on back left bench

2x4 chunks hold the wire between the poles

Use the wire reserved for this experiment
(it's labeled, and hanging in the non-majors storeroom)

The solenoid is set up on the back right bench

Connect solenoid to power supply with
two meters to measure V and I

A dual power supply is used to provide
sufficient current

Place the gaussmeter on the bench next to
the solenoid
