Designing an Experiment: Varying Magnet Temperature & Field Strength

AI Thread Summary
To design an experiment on how magnetic field strength varies with temperature, a heating element like a hot plate or heat gun can be used to gradually increase the magnet's temperature while measuring field strength with a Hall probe. Ensuring uniform temperature across the magnet is crucial, which can be achieved by using a thermometer to monitor different points and adjusting the heating element as needed. A heat sink can also help distribute heat evenly, preventing localized hotspots. Recording temperature and field strength data at regular intervals allows for the plotting of a graph to visualize their relationship. Repeating the experiment enhances accuracy and accounts for external factors affecting measurements.

am to design an experiment showing how magnetic field strength of a magnet varies with its temperature. i know i can use a hall probe to measure the field strength - but how do i vary the temperature, and ensure that this is uniform throughout the magnet?

To vary the temperature of the magnet, you can use a heating element such as a hot plate or a heat gun. Place the magnet on the heating element and gradually increase the temperature while measuring the field strength using the hall probe. Make sure to record the temperature and the corresponding field strength at regular intervals.

To ensure uniformity of temperature throughout the magnet, you can use a thermometer to measure the temperature at different points on the magnet's surface. If there are any significant variations in temperature, adjust the heating element accordingly to achieve a uniform temperature.

Another way to ensure uniformity is to use a heat sink, such as a metal plate, to distribute the heat evenly across the magnet's surface. This will help maintain a consistent temperature and prevent any localized hotspots.

Once you have recorded the temperature and field strength data at various temperatures, you can plot a graph to visualize the relationship between the two variables. This will help you determine how the magnetic field strength changes with temperature.

Additionally, you can repeat the experiment multiple times to ensure the accuracy of your results and to account for any external factors that may affect the measurements.

Overall, by carefully controlling the temperature and using a hall probe to measure the field strength, you can design an experiment to investigate the relationship between magnet temperature and field strength.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
