Experiment 4 Magnetic Field of a Solenoid
In this experiment, you measured the magnetic field inside a solenoid for different current values. In Table 4.1, record the highest magnetic field value measured by the sensor inside the solenoid for each resistor used. After completing the table, generate a graphical representation of your data, where the $x$ axis represents the current $I$ and the $y$ axis corresponds to the magnetic field $B$. Make sure to use appropriate units for both quantities. Perform a Linear Fit to all data points and save your graph to be included in the lab report.
Do your data support the theoretical predictions regarding the relation between $B$ and $I$? Provide a detailed discussion (about 400 words) in this regard. In the discussion, be sure to indicate the limitations of your experiment and the possible sources of error.
