Question

Using the graph, predict how many paper clips a 7.5 V battery would pick up for both the 25-coil electromagnet and the 50-coil electromagnet. Explain your reasoning for your prediction.

Answer 1

Data:
25 turn electromagnet
batter voltage: 1.5 V , 3.0 V , 4.5 V, 6.0V
paper clips picked up first try: 5, 12, 14, 20
paper clips picked up second try: 7, 12, 17, 26
average: 6, 12, 15.5, 23

50 turn electromagnet
battery voltage: 1.5 V, 3.0 V, 4.5 V, 6.0 V
paperclips picked up first try: 10, 28, 30, 44
paperclips picked up second try: 16, 24, 32, 50
average: 13, 26, 31, 47
