Experiment 2



In his second experiment, he repeats the same procedure he used in Experiment 1, except that this time he keeps the number of coils the same but changes the battery voltage. He records the number of paper clips attracted each time in a second table.



Battery Voltage (V) Number of paper clips attracted to the magnet
3.0 3
4.5 6
6.0 9
7.5 13
