    Loops Project
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing an experiment to determine which factor most affects the strength of an electromagnet: the number of coils, voltage, core diameter, or wire thickness. The user seeks clarification on the concept of "loops," specifically in the context of feedback loops in the scientific method. They express confidence that the number of coils will have the most significant impact on electromagnet strength. The user is looking for guidance on creating two feedback loops to incorporate into their experiment. Understanding and implementing these loops will help refine their hypothesis based on experimental results.

Homework Statement


I need to get 2 major loops in my method or hypthesis. My experiment is which of the following factors affects strength of electromagnet the most: number of coils, the
voltage of the power source, the diameter of the core, or the thickness of the wire.

Can you guys give me loops that I can do with each of these factors. I'm in high school.


Homework Equations


None


The Attempt at a Solution


I really don't know. The loops is the only spot I'm stuck on.

What do you mean by loops? Flaws?
 
I mean a feedback loop. The feedback loop is in the need to go back to the "Asking a Question" stage should the experiment stage not support the answer stage (Hypothesis).
 
I believe that the number of coils will affect its strength the most. I haven't had anything go wrong yet so I would llike to know what feedback loops might I try because I need 2.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
