INTRODUCTION
The synergy between applied voltage and magnetic fields
underpins the foundation of electromagnetism, offering a
profound realm of scientific exploration. This project delves
into the intricate dynamics governing the interaction between
applied voltage and magnetic fields, unraveling their joint
influence on various materials. As we manipulate these
variables, a tapestry of phenomena emerges, holding
implications for diverse applications.
This investigation seeks to unravel the nuanced interplay
between electrical and magnetic forces, shedding light on both
the practical applications and the theoretical underpinnings of
their intricate relationship.
WHAT IS A MAGNETIC FIELD?
A magnetic field is a fundamental aspect of
electromagnetism, exhibiting the ability to influence charged
particles and other magnetic materials. It is characterized by the
presence of magnetic lines of force, which emanate from north
poles and converge at south poles. The creation of a magnetic
field through electricity is a manifestation of the intricate
relationship between electric currents and magnetism.
According to Ampère's Circuital Law, an electric current
flowing through a conductor generates a magnetic field around it.
This principle is harnessed in various devices, most notably in the
electromagnet. In an electromagnet, a coil of wire is wound
around a ferromagnetic core, such as iron. When an electric
current is passed through the coil, it induces a magnetic field
within the core, effectively transforming the entire apparatus into
a magnet. The strength of the magnetic field is directly
proportional to the current flowing through the coil.
Furthermore, this phenomenon is utilized in devices like
solenoids, transformers, and electric motors. Solenoids, for
instance, consist of a coil through which current flows, generating
a magnetic field that can perform mechanical work, such as
moving a plunger or actuating a switch. Transformers leverage
the mutual induction of magnetic fields between coils to transfer
electrical energy, while electric motors utilize the interaction
between magnetic fields and electric currents to produce
rotational motion.

In essence, the creation of a magnetic field by electricity is a

fundamental principle that underlies a myriad of technological
applications, from simple electromagnets to complex electrical
devices that power our modern world.
APPLICATIONS:
 Electromagnets are at the core of electric motors. When
current flows through a coil, it generates a magnetic field
that interacts with other magnetic fields to produce
rotational motion.
 Electromagnetic locks are used in security systems and
doors. When energized, the electromagnet creates a
strong magnetic force, securing the lock in place.
 In audio systems, electromagnets are integral
components of speakers. An electromagnet interacts with
a permanent magnet, causing a diaphragm to vibrate and
produce sound waves.
 Inside an MRI machine, superconducting electromagnets
create powerful and stable magnetic fields essential for
imaging the internal structures of the human body.
 As mentioned earlier, maglev trains utilize
electromagnets to achieve levitation and propulsion. The
controlled switching of electromagnets enables precise
control over the train's movement.
AIM
To research the impact of applied voltage on magnetic field
REQUIREMENTS
 Power supply

 Magnetic field generator

 Various conductive materials (metals, alloys)

 Measurement instruments (multimeter, gauss meter)

 Experimental setup components (connecting wires, sensors)

PROCEDURE
1. Setting up the experimental apparatus:
a. Arrange the power supply, magnetic field generator, and
measurement instruments on a stable workbench.
b. Ensure all connections are secure and follow safety
guidelines for electrical equipment.
2. Selecting conductive materials:
a. Choose a variety of conductive materials for
experimentation, such as metals and alloys.
b. Ensure the materials are free from impurities that could
affect conductivity.
3. Assembling the experimental setup:
a. Wind the conductive material into a coil to enhance the
impact of the magnetic field.
b. Position the coil within the magnetic field generated by
the magnetic field generator.
4. Gradually varying applied voltage:
a. Start with a low voltage setting on the power supply.
b. Gradually increase the applied voltage while observing
the behavior of the conductive material.
c. Record the applied voltage values and corresponding
current readings.
5. Monitoring magnetic field strength:
a. Utilize a gauss meter to measure and record the strength
of the magnetic field.
b. Take readings at different points around the coil to
understand variations in magnetic field strength.
OBSERVATION
Low Voltage (V) and Magnetic Field (B) Interaction:
 At low applied voltages, minimal current is observed in the
conductive material within the magnetic field.
 The magnetic field strength remains relatively constant at
this stage.
 No significant visual changes or heating in the material are
noted.
Moderate Voltage and Magnetic Field Interaction:
 As the applied voltage increases, a proportional rise in
current is observed due to the increased electromotive force.
 The magnetic field strength shows a corresponding increase.
 The conductive material may exhibit slight warming but
remains within a safe operating temperature.
High Voltage and Magnetic Field Interaction:
 At higher voltages, a substantial increase in current is noted,
indicating a more pronounced impact on the conductive
material.
 The magnetic field strength reaches its peak, influencing the
material's electromagnetic response significantly.
 Observable changes in the material, such as color alterations
or heating, may become more apparent.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the relationship between applied voltage and
magnetic field strength significantly influences the
electromagnetic response of various materials. The experiment,
as seen from my perspective, showcases the nuanced dynamics
governing these interactions.

At lower voltage levels, the observed minimal impact on the

materials suggests a threshold at which the electromagnetic
response becomes noticeable. As the applied voltage increases,
the proportional rise in current and magnetic field strength aligns
with expectations, indicating a systematic progression of the
experiment.
PRECAUTION
1. Handle apparatus carefully.

2. Emphasize the importance of safety measures.

3. Avoid electrical hazards.
