How to find an expected value for magnetic field strength?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on measuring magnetic field strength between 5cm and 30cm and identifying a power relationship through a log vs log graph. The participant seeks a formula to determine the expected value for the gradient of this graph to calculate percentage uncertainty. Existing formulas from the curriculum are deemed unsuitable as they involve current, which is not applicable to their setup. Additional information about the apparatus geometry and any electrical currents is necessary to find a relevant formula. Assistance in this area is requested to enhance the experiment's accuracy.

Homework Statement
For my yr12 phyics assignment, I am struggling to find an expected value for magnetic field strength at a specific distance.
Relevant Equations
B=2*10^-7 (I/r) (where I is current and r is distance. B is magnetic field strength in Tesla)
B is proportional to 1/r^2 (this is the relationship that was expected, however the relationship was found to be a power relationship).
Our class modified an experiment to measure the magnetic field strength in mT between 5cm and 30cm, and I have plotted data and found that the relationship resembles a power relationship (using a log vs log graph). In order to find the percentage uncertainty for the whole experiment I need the expected value for the gradient of that log vs log graph, but I am struggling to find a formula that will work with the magnetic field strength and distance variables. Does anyone know of a formula that could be beneficial to me? I've attached some formulas below that are available in our curriculum, however, they do not seem to match the exact situation we have set up (they involve current, etc). Any amount of help would be greatly appreciated!

We need to have a better description of the apparatus that was creating the magnetic field. It is likely there is a formula available, but it is necessary to know the geometry of the apparatus, as well as any electrical currents that may be present.
 
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
