Measuring the Magnetic Moment of a Magnetic Dipole

The purpose of these experiments is to investigate the interaction of a magnetic dipole moment with a magnetic field. Five experiments were conducted to measure the magnetic moment of a magnetic dipole, including Balancing Magnetic Torque and Gravitational Torque, Harmonic Oscillation of a Spherical Pendulum, Preccessional Motion of a Spinning Sphere, Net Force in a Magnetic Field Gradient Using the Magnetic Force Balance, and Determining the Magnetic Moment from the 1/r$^{\mathrm{3}}$ Dependence of the Magnetic Field Along the axis of a Magnetic Dipole. The experimental setups and results will be presented and compared for each of the five experiments.
