Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a high school project investigating factors that affect the strength of an electromagnet, specifically focusing on the number of coils, voltage of the power source, diameter of the core, and thickness of the wire. The original poster seeks guidance on developing feedback loops related to their experimental method.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are exploring the concept of feedback loops in the context of experimental design. Questions arise regarding the definition of "loops" and how they relate to the experimental process. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to structure their approach.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the term "loops" and exploring the implications of feedback in the experimental process. Some participants are sharing their thoughts on which factors may have the most significant impact on electromagnet strength.

Contextual Notes

The original poster indicates a need for two major loops in their methodology but has not yet defined them clearly. There is a lack of explicit consensus on the interpretation of feedback loops in this context.

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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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.
