Science Project on “Force Fields”, Project Experiment Topics on Electricity, Magnetism Gravity for Class 8, 9, 10 and 12 Students.
Force Fields
Materials Required:
- An adult
- A hammer
- Safety pin
- Glass jar
- Magnet
- Thread
- Adhesive tape
A magnet is an object surrounded by a field of currents and has the property of either attracting or dispelling metals, such as iron or steel.
When you throw up an object in the air, the force of gravity pulls it down towards the earth.
These two invisible forces are very strong, but which of them is stronger? Make a hole in the lid of the glass jar and turn it upside down.
Using some adhesive tape, stick the magnet on the outer bottom of the jar.
Take a thread, tie it on the end of a safety pin and let it pass through the hole in the lid.
Hold it above the magnet until the pin is standing straight up.
Tape the other end of the thread outside the lid, to keep it hanging safely in place.
Will a stronger magnet hike the safety pin off the bottom? How further away from the bottom can you raise the pin and at the same time hold a magnetic force, strong enough to overpower gravity?
