Day 19: Magnetic Field

Points Around A Magnet
Using a compass, seen in the upper left hand corner of the photo, we were asked to draw the direction of north as we rotated the compass around the magnet. We drew several arrows of which way north was indicated on the compass in intervals around the magnet. When the compass was closest to the North end of the magnet the compass indicated that north was towards the magnet (indicating N on the compass was actually S, because N on the compass would be attracted to S not N.). When the compass was nearer to the South end of the magnet it indicated that north was in the opposite direction.

This was our in class attempt at solving for the magnetic field but we realized that our units didn't work.
