Question

question 6
the data table below contains quantitative data collected by a student that performed the strength of magnetic fields lab. analyze the data table.
data table 2: field strength of a vertical ring magnet
orientation magnet strength distance to beginning of turn distance to full turn
vertical single ring magnet 20.2 cm
vertical double ring magnet 27.1 cm 15.6 cm
match each statement to the portion of a scientific argument that it represents.
increasing the size of a ring magnet produces a stronger magnetic field.
a. claim - answers scientific question
a single ring magnet fully turned the pendulum from a distance of 10.8 cm. a double ring magnet fully turned the pendulum from 15.6 cm.
b. evidence - data to support
the ring magnet with a stronger magnetic field can turn the pendulum from a greater distance. since the double ring magnet turned the pendulum from farther away, the double magnet has a stronger magnetic field.
c. reasoning - how or why

Explanation:

1. "Increasing the size of a ring magnet produces a stronger magnetic field." is a claim as it answers the scientific question about the relationship between magnet size and magnetic - field strength.
2. "A single ring magnet fully turned the pendulum from a distance of 10.8 cm. A double ring magnet fully turned the pendulum from 15.6 cm." is evidence as it provides data to support the claim.
3. "The ring magnet with a stronger magnetic field can turn the pendulum from a greater distance. Since the double ring magnet turned the pendulum from farther away, the double magnet has a stronger magnetic field." is reasoning as it explains how the evidence supports the claim.
