This video introduces an investigation into the size of the magnetic force on a wire when current flows through it. The lab apparatus shown in the video will be used to investigate how the size of the current, the length of the wire, and the relative strength of the external magnetic field affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. See below for the data collection videos used to complete each of the 3 investigations.
