    1) The document describes an engineering physics laboratory experiment to study the variation of magnetic field with distance along the axis of a circular coil carrying current. 2) Key steps in the experiment involve using a tangent galvanometer to measure the magnetic field at various distances, applying Biot-Savart law to calculate the radius of the coil from these measurements, and plotting a graph of the results. 3) Proper initial adjustment of the compass box is required, as well as holding the current constant while varying only the distance and measuring the corresponding deflection angles.

    Tangent Galvanometer

    Top view of tangent


    galvanometer

    The frame can be


    rotated about the
    coil’s vertical plane.

    Principle of tangent galvanometer is based upon tangent law in magnetism.

    It states that when a magnet is suspended under the action of uniform magnetic fields B perpendicular to
    the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field ,BH, then the magnet comes to rest at an angle θ
    with respect to the field BH such that B=BHtanθ

    Compass box

    The magnetic pin in the compass box is


    suspended so that it can spin freely inside
    its casing and it will align itself in north-
    south direction

    Tangent law of Magnetism
    The needle is placed between two magnetic
    fields acting perpendicular to each other :
    (i) the magnetic field due to the current in the
    coil acting normal to the plane of the coil
    (ii) the horizontal component of Earth’s
    magnetic induction.

    RULE : If we grasp the
    conductor in the palm
    of right hand, so that
    thumb points in the
    direction of flow of
    current, then the
    direction in which
    finger curl gives the of

    Precautions:
     1. There should be no magnet, magnetic substances and current
    carrying conductor near the apparatus.
     2. The needle in the compass box should freely rotate.
     3. The plane of the coil should be set in the magnetic medium.
     4. The initial adjustment of the compass box should be done properly.
     5. The current should remain constant and should be reversed for
    each observation.
