- The statistics show that the magnetic field inside a solenoid depends on
the position of the probe inside. The magnitude of the magnetic field increase
from x = 0cm to x = 16cm, and then decrease with exact the same pace as it
increase to the end of the Table 1, x = 30cm.
- The statistics shows that the magnitude of the magnetic field and the
voltage has a linear relationship. But in this case, the resistance is
unchanged, so the current also has linear relationship with the voltage. So,
we can see that relationship between the magnetic field and the applied
current is also linear.

- The result from the experiment is approximately close the theoretical
values. The different due to the uncertainty of the instruments used.
