Alex. The Strength of Magnetic
Fields, Mattamuskeet High School,
Hyde County, NC.
We
determined that various magnets exhibit different magnetic field
strengths. We measured the fields
outside of horseshoe magnets, bar magnets, and electromagnetic solenoids with
different kinds of cores to make this determination. We used a magnetic probe and compass to find the strength of the
fields and the factors by which they are affected.
