Setup

Set up for magnet and hall effect probe

Set up for power distributor

The setup is fairly simple. We will start by setting up the power supply (A) and the current reader (B).We will then set the MEMS stationed upside down so that the experiment does not get tall. Then we will set the front of the magnet (D) facing the MEMS (C) so that the magnetic field is facing the MEMS and not opposing it. Since the MEMS is vector based it would work either way the magnet is facing but having the magnetic field opposing the MEMS would cause a weird graph. The distance between the magnet and the MEMS is 4mm and is constant. When setting up the MEMS we will set the amplification to low so that we can get more accurate data. The materials used in the experiment were the voltage regulator, the current reader, the MEMS, and the electromagnets.
