Extend tablet magnetometer experiments to other current geometries¶

Description¶

A forward-looking recommendation from the authors for follow-up experiments with the tablet magnetometer setup. After establishing the coil and magnet results, they write: "For further experiments we suggest the study of the magnet dependence on distance for other geometries, like the long straight wire or the current on a plane sheet of steel." This extends the same measurement approach to new field-source configurations.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• The tablet magnetometer demonstration set and field sources in the suggested geometries (long straight wire, current on a plane sheet of steel).

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶
