Abstract

The magnetic field intensity was designed, implemented, tested and evaluated. Hall Effect sensor was used to measure the magnetic field intensity produced by the electromagnet. The instrument was interfaced to the computer through the PCADC 12 for data acquisition and the parallel port for the motor which controls the motion of the sensor at different positions.

The Magnetic field intensity was mapped using Surfer Grapher software. The effect of the current supplied through the electromagnets and the air gap between the poles were studied. It was found out that as the current increased the magnetic field also increased. On the other hand, as the air gap between poles increased the magnetic field intensity decreased.

The magnetic field intensity plotter was designed for physics laboratory class deals with magnetic sensing and magnetic field intensity mapping.
