Title: EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF THE INDUCTANCE OF A SOLENOID: AN EDUCATIONAL APPROACH
Keywords: inductance, linear regression, magnetic induction

Abstract: The proposed physics experiment is designed as an educational tool to enhance the understanding of fundamental principles in electromagnetism by enabling students to experimentally determine the inductance of a solenoid through electromagnetic induction without relying on moving conductors or magnets. The primary objective is to integrate theoretical knowledge about the relationships among important electromagnetic quantities with hands-on experimental methodologies for their measurement and evaluation. Rather than directly measuring the solenoid’s inductance, the selected approach indirectly determines it by analyzing variations in magnetic induction as a function of electric current. The experimental data were thoroughly analyzed using Weighted Least Squares, regression, thus highlighting their pedagogical value and effectiveness in handling experimental uncertainties. Additionally, the experimental outcomes are validated through independent direct measurements, reinforcing both the reliability of the method and its educational significance.
