Does Temperature Affect A Magnet's Strength

Decent Essays
This scientific experiment was performed to prove whether or not temperature will affect a magnet's strength. My hypothesis stated that a magnet's ability to magnetize would work best at room temperature, because its magnetic field was least disrupted. In this experiment the magnet picked up the most paper clips on average at room temperature.
The data supports my hypothesis that magnets work best at room temperature.

    Only one item was used; therefore, it was impossible to know if the experiment had internal reliability. Nevertheless, there existed problem with the cold pressor test. A study had shown that due to the differences in the temperature of the ice water, the test lack standardization (Mitchell, 2004). In the MythsBuster experiment, the participants all put their hand in the same ice bowl, and the water was described as slightly above freezing temperature. Since the ice melted in contact with heat from the hands, the people performed the procedure later might experience a higher temperature compare to those prior to them.…

    Introduction: For this lab, the two main topics are surface tension and pennies. Pennies are a part of the US currency, which holds a value of one cent. They were mostly made by copper until 1982 when the government realized the expenses of using copper; thus, the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper or copper plated zinc. It has a diameter of 19.05 mm and a thickness of 1.52 mm and is forged using four procedures: Blanking, Annealing, Upsetting, and Striking. The design of the penny holds two alternative sides (heads or tails) which has a picture of Abraham Lincoln engraved on one end and a variety of pictures engraved on the other end (usually the white house).…

    The Three Metal Clips

    • 191 Words
    • 1 Pages

    The setup of the experiment as that with the three metal clips all needed to be bent a certain amount of time. The first metal paper clip, which was unheated and unexposed to the heat, was bent for thirty times until it broke. Based on that, the second and third paper clips were bent fifteen times or half the amount of the first paper clip. The second paper clip was put under heat until it started glowing, but a certain inconsistency was that the heat was not constant and that the heat was put down low for most of the time this paper clip was under the fire, before it was switched up high before it was cooled. It took rather longer than the second paper clip in comparison to start turning gold, due to the heat being a lot lower, and it was…

    An MRI machine uses a magnet and a magnetic field to make the images. An MRI technologist will ask the patient an extensive history on prior surgeries because certain metals cannot be near an MRI machine. The magnet used in MRI is very strong and can cause harm to a patient if a proper history is not obtained. If a patient has metal in his or her body, the metal could potentially be moved inside the patient during an MRI…

    In this lab we learned the basics of enzymes and how they work. We were able to perform a quantitative assay of the activity of an enzyme in a tissue extract using a spectrophotometer. Also, we had to organize the data that was provided into tables and graphs so we could have the ability to test a few hypotheses. For example, we tested the whether the rate of the reaction was influenced by enzyme concentration, whether the activity of the enzyme was influenced by temperature and also too see if the activity of the enzyme was influenced by the pH of the solution, which you will then see the results on the graphs and charts that I provided. In figure one we show results of the trial run from the enzyme activity where the absorbance was at 500nm.…

    Breastfeeding infants instead of using formula can improve brain development in many different areas. In the article Breastfeeding Boots the Brain Development of a Baby, the article states that breastfeeding can help develop white matter in the brain of infants. This growth in white matter also lead to better performance in areas like language, visual perception and motor control. White matter is a type of tissue in the brain and spinal cord made up of nerve fibers, some may even characterize white matter as the information highway of the brain. The article tries to show the effective use of breastfeeding compared to modern formulated nutrition for infants.…
