ANALYSIS
CONCLUSION

After the experiment was done we must be familiarized with the

behaviour of magnetic fields around the combination of poles of permanent
magnets, figure out the magnetic forces magnitude on a current-carrying
wire, discern about the characteristics of the relationships between magnetic
field and magnetic force, length, current, and orientation of current carrying
wire.
