This is an inquiry-based lab for AP or Honors high school physics, designed to let students explore the effect of an external field on a current-carrying wire in that field. Detailed background information and tips for teachers accompany the lesson, along with photos and diagrams of the lab set-up. It is expected that students would have some prior experience with the fundamentals of magnetism but would not have studied the topic prior to the lab.
This resource is part of a larger collection of inquiry-based labs developed by the NSF-funded Center for Nanoscale Systems Institute for Physics Teachers. SEE RELATED ITEMS on this page for a link to the full collection.
