SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on designing an experiment to measure how the magnetic field strength of a magnet varies with temperature. The recommended method involves submerging the magnet in a non-magnetic liquid, such as oil, which has a sufficient density to suspend the magnet. This allows for uniform temperature distribution around the magnet. After heating the liquid and allowing for a stabilization period, a Hall probe is used to measure the magnetic field strength from outside the container.
