TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic experiment teaching instruments, and particularly relates to a demonstration experiment device and method for verifying the Biot-Savart law. BACKGROUND
[0002] Biot and Savart first set a compensating magnet to offset the influence of the geomagnetic field, and measured the force of the current-carrying conductor on the magnetic needle by using the periodic oscillation method, and obtained that the square of the oscillation period of the magnetic needle is proportional to the vertical distance of the magnetic needle to the current-carrying straight conductor. They also designed to measure the relationship between the force of the magnetic pole on the angle bisector of the bending conductor and the change of the bending angle, obtained the quantitative expression of the force of the bending conductor on the magnetic pole, and obtained the Biot-Savart law with the help of Laplace's theoretical analysis. The experiment lays the foundation for the quantitative conclusion of the current magnetic effect in theory, but the experimental device is relatively complex, the operation steps are cumbersome, and there are many influencing factors, which is difficult to reproduce in ordinary teaching scenes.
[0003] The accurate measurement of the magnetic field around the current-carrying conductor is the cornerstone of verifying the Biot-Savart law and Ampere's loop theorem and other core theories of electromagnetism, and is also an important experimental measurement basis in university physics experiment teaching, and has certain value in scientific research and engineering technology application. However, a fundamental challenge is that the magnetic induction intensity generated by the ordinary current-carrying straight conductor in the near field is usually of the order of microtesla (μT), which is comparable to the strength of the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field (about 20-65 μT). Thus, the target magnetic field signal is easily overwhelmed by the geomagnetic field, making direct measurement difficult.
[0004] With the development of measurement technology, weak magnetic field measurement gradually turns to electronicization. In the prior art, electronic measurement devices such as Hall sensors, magnetic flux sensors, magnetoresistance sensors or high-sensitivity magnetometers are commonly used. Although these instruments have high precision, they have problems such as high cost, poor anti-interference performance and weak environmental adaptability. For example: 1) the precision of the commonly used gauss meter (about 10 μT) cannot meet the precision requirements of the experiment, and high-precision magnetic field strength devices are expensive and not suitable for popularization of basic teaching experiments; 2) the sensor is highly sensitive to position and angle, and is obviously responsive to external electromagnetic noise; 3) zero-point calibration and temperature drift correction are required before measurement; 4) most of them are point measurement type detection methods, which are difficult to directly display the magnetic field distribution characteristics, and are not conducive to students' understanding of the concept of magnetic field vector.
[0005] To eliminate the influence of the geomagnetic field, the traditional method often adopts a compensation magnetic field scheme, for example, a uniform magnetic field is generated by using a Helmholtz coil to offset the geomagnetic field, or a reverse magnetic field is generated by using a permanent magnet to compensate. Although the compensation method can improve the measurement sensitivity, it still has the disadvantages of complex structure, large volume, high precision requirement for installation and adjustment, obvious magnetic hysteresis effect, and small measurable space range. Especially in the teaching scene, the Helmholtz coil system has very high requirements for the space environment and geometric symmetry, which is not conducive to students to independently build and operate. Some teaching experiments also qualitatively observe the current magnetic field direction by using a magnetic needle to illustrate electromagnetic interaction, but only the direction change of the magnetic field can be reflected, and the quantitative measurement of the magnetic induction intensity cannot be realized. Due to the superimposed influence of the geomagnetic background, the magnetic needle deflection is difficult to directly correspond to the theoretical value, thereby limiting the application of the method in quantitative research and accurate verification.
[0006] Therefore, in the prior art system, the experimental verification of the Biot-Savart law still mainly depends on high-precision electronic measurement or a complex compensation system. There is a lack of a teaching-type experimental device which is simple in structure, low in cost, and capable of realizing quantitative measurement of the magnetic field intensity under the geomagnetic background. SUMMARY
[0007] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and to provide a demonstration experiment device and method for verifying the Biot-Savart law. By using the magnetic needle deflection angle to indirectly calculate the magnetic induction intensity under the condition of superposition of the geomagnetic field and the current-carrying wire magnetic field, the quantitative verification of the Biot-Savart law is realized. This method avoids complex compensation structure and expensive sensing equipment, and has the characteristics of simple device, intuitive measurement, low cost, and strong repeatability, and is especially suitable for university basic physics experiments and weak magnetic field measurement teaching, and has both theoretical rigor and operational feasibility.

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort also belong to the protection scope of the present application.
[0045] This invention simplifies and improves upon the historical experimental approach of Biot and Savart in verifying the magnetic field distribution of a current-carrying conductor using a complex periodic oscillation method. By using the Earth's magnetic field as a reference field and employing the magnetic needle deflection method for indirect measurement, the core principles of the Biot-Savart law are successfully verified in a simpler, more intuitive, and lower-cost manner. This invention not only enables intuitive verification of the Biot-Savart law in university physics experiments, improving students' understanding of electromagnetic laws and their experimental skills, but also has applications in teaching demonstrations of weak magnetic field measurement methods, geomagnetic environment determination, and the development and calibration of basic electromagnetic measurement devices. It possesses high practical value and promising prospects for widespread application.
[0046] The specific embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0047] Example 1
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a demonstration experimental device for verifying the Biot-Savart law using a small magnetic needle and the Earth's magnetic field.
[0049] In terms of equipment configuration, it can be divided into three categories:
[0050] Angle positioning base plate 1: such as Figure 2 As shown, this system is used to establish an experimental reference plane and provides functions for conductor angle calibration and direction alignment, ensuring precise alignment of the conductor with the north-south direction of the Earth's magnetic field. The base plate integrates an angle scale structure, with corresponding fixing slots on each angle scale for securing the wooden rod and fixing the conductor at the corresponding bending angle. An adjustable-height bracket is located above the base plate to adjust the vertical distance between the small magnetic needle and the conductor. A level is located above the angle positioning base plate as a reference standard for determining the verticality of the base plate.
[0051] Current-carrying conductor assembly 2: such as Figure 3 As shown, the device is constructed from flexible oxygen-free copper wire, which has good conductivity and mechanical stability. It is fixed by hollow straight wooden sticks to provide stable support and precise positioning, ensuring uniform current distribution and reducing additional magnetic field interference. The device is connected to a regulated DC power supply to provide a stable and adjustable current output to the current-carrying wire, ensuring a constant current during the experiment and improving the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement.
[0052] Magnetic needle measuring component 3: such as Figure 4 As shown, a high-precision compass is selected as the core of the measurement. It has a fine scale and a reading window, which can accurately read the pointer angle. The reading accuracy of the pointer angle is 1°. It is used to sensitively indicate the direction of the magnetic field and measure the deflection angle.
[0053] In this embodiment, regarding the selection of the regulated DC power supply, the Biot-Savart law describes the basic law of magnetic field distribution caused by a current element in space. In order to accurately verify this law, the stability of the current output must be ensured during the experiment to maintain the consistency of the magnetic field in time and space, thereby improving the repeatability and controllability of the measurement results.
[0054] Based on this requirement, this embodiment uses a regulated DC power supply with a maximum output of 20V 50A to provide a constant current output, thereby creating a stable magnetic field environment. This helps to accurately observe and measure the deflection angle of the magnetic needle, ensuring the validity and reliability of the experimental data.
[0055] In this embodiment, the core measuring element of the magnetic needle measurement component is a small magnetic needle, whose performance directly affects the accuracy of deflection angle measurement and the repeatability of experimental data. To improve the sensitivity and stability of the measurement, a high-precision compass was selected. The small magnetic needle has a diameter of 35 mm and features rapid response and high sensitivity, with a measurement accuracy of up to 1°. It can effectively reflect the deflection caused by minute changes in the magnetic field, helping to obtain more reliable and consistent experimental results.
[0056] In this embodiment, high-purity oxygen-free copper was selected as the current-carrying conductor to improve the conductivity of the wire, reduce heat generation and energy loss, and ensure the stability of the current during transmission. Simultaneously, to avoid interference with experimental data due to poor contact or resistance fluctuations and to further improve experimental accuracy, the conductor was coated with a high-temperature resistant insulating enamel layer, which not only prevents short circuits but also enhances the safety and reliability of the system. The experiment requires a strong magnetic field to facilitate the measurement of the magnetic needle deflection angle, thus necessitating a sufficiently large current flow. Copper wires that are too thin are prone to overheating and melting under high current, failing to meet experimental requirements; while copper wires that are too thick, although capable of carrying a large current, are rigid and lack flexibility, hindering subsequent bending and wiring operations. Considering both conductivity and ease of operation, a 2mm diameter copper wire was chosen for the device, as it can withstand the required current while possessing good flexibility, facilitating its fabrication according to the experimental design.
[0057] In this embodiment, the fixation of the copper wire in the current-carrying conductor assembly is crucial. The appropriate selection of various structural components is essential for the accuracy of the measurement and the stability of the experiment during the setup of the experimental apparatus. To facilitate bending and shaping the copper wire while maintaining its stability, the copper wire is threaded through two hollow, straight wooden sticks with an outer length of 1000 mm, an outer radius of 10 mm, and an inner radius slightly larger than the conductor radius for auxiliary fixation. Wood itself is non-conductive and non-magnetic, facilitating operation without affecting the magnetic field distribution.
[0058] In this embodiment, to approximate the condition of an "infinitely long wire" in the theoretical model as closely as possible, the wire length was chosen to be 5000 mm to reduce the influence of edge effects on the magnetic field distribution, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the experiment. 2000 mm of this wire serves as the conductor generating the electromagnetic field, while the remaining portion acts as a connecting wire, achieving a good balance between performance, practicality, and theoretical consistency. Furthermore, the connecting wire is kept as perpendicular as possible to the angle positioning base plate to minimize the interference of the magnetic induction intensity generated by the current in the connecting wire on the measurement results.
[0059] In this embodiment, the angle positioning base plate is a 1200 mm × 2400 mm wooden flat plate. The plate has angle markings and corresponding fixing slots for the corresponding bending angles (15~90° in the experiment, with a step size of 7.5°), facilitating the fixing of the wire at the required bending angle. The angle positioning base plate is equipped with a level and tilt adjustment support, providing a standard for keeping the bent wire vertical in space. This design not only facilitates the measurement operation but also helps to construct an experimental scenario close to ideal conditions.
[0060] In this embodiment, for the measurement scale structure, in order to meet the requirements of fixing and observing the magnetic needle, the project adopted an adjustable height plastic bracket. Its material does not interfere with the magnetic field and can effectively avoid magnetic disturbances introduced by the metal bracket, thereby ensuring the accurate measurement of the magnetic needle deflection angle.
[0061] Device design and construction:
[0062] To avoid interference from excess wires with the magnetic field in the measurement area and to ensure that the magnetic fields they cause can cancel each other out or move away from the measurement area, first, a 5000 mm long copper wire is threaded through two 1000 mm long hollow straight wooden sticks to fix the wire, and ensure that about 8 mm of wire is left between the two hollow straight wooden sticks and that the length of the connecting wire left on both sides of the wooden sticks is roughly equal.
[0063] Observe and determine the north-south direction of the geomagnetic field using a compass, and then fix the angle positioning base plate in that direction. In practice, keep the compass firmly against the wooden board, ensuring its reading is stable at 0° or 180°, and guarantee that the angle positioning base plate is aligned with the north-south geomagnetic direction. Then, use the level and tilt adjustment device above the angle positioning base plate to adjust it to a vertical position.
[0064] In this embodiment, the midpoint of the conductor is suspended from the bending point on the angle positioning base plate, while both ends are fixed at 1000 mm from their respective angles. A compass is mounted on a plastic bracket, positioned directly above the bending point of the conductor, ensuring that the north-south direction of the compass is coplanar with the conductor. Finally, the connecting wire is straightened, its height adjusted to ensure that the plane of the connecting wire is as perpendicular as possible to the plane of the bent conductor, and then symmetrically connected to the output terminals of a regulated DC power supply to ensure a uniform and stable magnetic field and effective control of experimental conditions.
[0065] This embodiment uses the Earth's magnetic field as a reference magnetic field. Utilizing the principle of vector superposition of magnetic fields, it indirectly measures the magnetic flux density around a current-carrying conductor by measuring the deflection angle of a magnetic needle under the influence of the conductor. This replaces traditional methods relying on Hall sensors or fluxmeters, providing a measurement basis for the verification experiment of the Biot-Savart law. The device structure consists of an angle positioning base plate, a current-carrying conductor assembly, and a magnetic needle measurement assembly. Relative magnetic flux density is obtained through visualized angle readings, and data calculation is performed by combining the vector superposition relationship of magnetic fields. By measuring the relationship between the magnetic flux density on the axis of symmetry of the bent current-carrying conductor and the vertical distance, current magnitude, and bending angle, the experimental verification demonstration of the Biot-Savart law is achieved.
[0066] This device features a simple structure, high sensitivity, suitable measurement range, no need for precision measuring equipment, and low cost, effectively lowering the equipment threshold for electromagnetic experiments. Furthermore, its open-structure design facilitates multi-parameter experimental investigations, enhances teaching interactivity, and strengthens students' understanding of electromagnetic induction laws and quantitative magnetic field analysis methods. It has significant potential for widespread application in university physics experimental teaching and basic scientific research training.
[0067] Example 2
[0068] This embodiment describes the electromagnetic induction intensity measurement steps and law verification method based on the device in Embodiment 1. This system enables quantitative measurement of the magnetic field of a current-carrying conductor and experimental verification of the Biot-Savart law under geomagnetic conditions.
[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, the specific measurement steps are as follows:
[0070] 1) Measuring the magnitude of the horizontal geomagnetic field The magnetometer in the Phyphox mobile app is used to measure the magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field. The specific operation is based on the vertical horizontal plane. z The axis, the short side of the phone is x axis, with the longer side being y When measuring the horizontal component, the phone is placed on a horizontal surface, and the axis is determined by the center of the phone. z Rotate axis, record x When the axial magnetic field is 0, y Maximum value of the axis B max and minimum value B min The final value of the horizontal component The average value is obtained from multiple measurements.
[0071] 2) Adjust the specified distance r Adjust the height using the plastic bracket to ensure the vertical distance between the center of the magnetic needle and the bend point of the wire.r Adjust to the designated position and repeatedly measure to confirm accuracy.
[0072] 3) Fix a specified angle α The wire is fixed to the angle base plate at a specified angle using hollow straight wooden sticks. α Location.
[0073] 4) Adjust the specified current I Turn on the regulated DC power supply to direct the current. I Adjust precisely to the specified current.
[0074] 5) Read the initial reading Read the initial reading through the compass observation window. .
[0075] 6) Read the reading after power-on. Press the power output button and wait for the compass needle angle to stabilize before reading the compass reading while the device is powered on. Then, the power output is turned off.
[0076] 7) Take the average value , Repeat steps 5) and 6) multiple times, and take the average of the readings. , .
[0077] 8) Calculate the relative value Size: First calculate the deflection angle Then, the relative values of magnetic induction intensity and geomagnetic field are obtained. .
[0078] 9) Calculate the magnetic induction intensity B c Finally, the formula is used. The magnetic flux density can then be calculated.
[0079] During the experiment, the magnetic flux density was investigated by controlling a single variable. B With current I Vertical distance r and the bending angle of the wire α The functional relationship between the three factors was investigated. In the experiment, the magnitude of the current, the distance between the magnetic needle and the bending point of the wire, and the included angle of the wire were adjusted sequentially. The deflection angle of the magnetic needle was recorded, and the corresponding magnetic induction intensity was calculated. Subsequently, the experimental data were compared and analyzed with the theoretical values derived based on the Biot-Savart law.
[0080] Experimental results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic induction intensity of a current-carrying straight conductor increases linearly with increasing current and is inversely proportional to the distance; asFigure 7 As shown, in the bent conductor configuration, the deflection angle of the magnetic needle is approximately linearly positively correlated with the bending angle. The magnetic induction intensity on the outer bisector of the current-carrying conductor angle increases with the increase of the included angle, and is related to tan( α / 2) Proportional. The experimental data of each group are highly consistent with the theoretical derivation of Biot and Savart in terms of both trend and value, indicating that the device can accurately reflect the spatial distribution law of the magnetic field of the current-carrying conductor, and has good measurement accuracy and repeatability. It can be used for teaching verification of Biot-Savart law and experimental research on weak magnetic field measurement.
