PHET Magnetism – Lab Grade Part I: 1. Go to http://phet.colorado.edu 2. Click on electricity and magnetism sims. 3. Select the simulation “Magnets and Electromagnets.” It is at this link http://phet.colorado.edu/new/simulations/sims.php?sim=Magnets_and_Electromagnet s 4. Move the compass slowly along a semicircular path above the bar magnet until you’ve put it on the opposite side of the bar magnet. Describe what happens to the compass needle. The compass needle keeps rotating in a clockwise direction as the compass moves in a semicircular path. 5. What do you suppose the compass needles drawn all over the screen tell you? It tells about the direction of the magnetic field 6. How is the strength of the force/torque on the compass needle indicated? The strength is indicated by the number of rotations the compass needle makes and the speed of the compass needle. 7. What are the similarities between the compass needle (magnetism) and a test charge (electricity)? They both repel like charges and attract opposite charges. They both have directional, magnetic and electric field. 8. Move the compass along a semicircular path below the bar magnet until you’ve put it on the opposite side of the bar magnet. Describe what happens to the compass needle. The red part of the needle faces the south pole of the magnet and the white part of the needle faces the north pole of the magnet and continues to spin and maintain the position as the compass is moved around. 9. How many co ...
