rth_south.htm
Directions: Play around with the website so that you can answer the questions about
the solenoid.
1. What happens to the compass as the current is increased?
2. What happens when the “current direction” box is checked?
3. What happens when the “magnetic field vector” box is checked?
4. What happens when both boxes are checked at the same time?
5. What happens when the red & black wires are switched?
6. How does changing the voltage affect the results?
DIRECTIONS: Write a paragraph, 5 sentence minimum, summarizing your observations.
Extra credit will be given for exceptional thought, insight or more sentences which
demonstrate clear thought process. Your handwriting must be very clear and legible to
get points.
