Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
This paper investigated the magnetic field strength of a solenoid using the magnetometer of a smartphone. There were three experiments: magnetic field strength versus current; magnetic field strength versus number of turns; and magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid. The result of the experiment has found that magnetic field strength and current and magnetic field strength and number of turns have direct relationship to one another and conformed with the Ampere’s Law. Meanwhile, the magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid has an exponential relationship. This paper recommended to verify the permittivity of free space by revising the experimental set-up. From educational uses to practical applications, it provides the teaching and learning process with a convenient tool for measuring magnetic field strength at various points with incredible precision and accuracy with minimal effort required. Keywords: magnetic field strength, solenoid, magnetometer, smartphone learning, physics teaching
