In one of my problems, I have this set of data. I have to create two best fit lines, and find a value of absolute zero for both. The first best fit line is to be made assuming there is NO uncertainty in P. This is rather straightforward, just use the normal linear regression, find a slope...

When the flat end is dropped, the voltage peaks positive, then negative. Therefore, for the first peak, that means current is moving from + to -, in a counterclockwise fashion. That means, due to the right-hand rule, the magnetic field from the wire is pointing upwards (towards the sky) on the...

An ammeter was not used, rather we used a digital voltage sensor. I have included the polarities of the voltmeter, and how they were connected to the coil, thus a current going from + to - on the voltmeter would be recorded as a positive peak, and a current going from - to + would be recorded as...

Couldn't knowledge of how magnetic fields point at north and south poles not be able to be used to determine polarity? Considering magnetic fields move outwards from the north pole and inwards towards the south pole, couldn't one figure out the magnetic flux, and thus the emf, and thus the...

I have an issue in determining what side of a magnet is north and south. The only data I have is that garnered from a lab on induction, and I have taken note of the all the polarities of the circuits. The magnet was not labeled, but we noted that one end was "flat" and the other was "jagged"...
