Finding the poles of different magnets version 1

Draw a picture of the apparatus in the first experiment with the wire and the horseshoe magnet, determine the direction of the current in the wire and record the direction of the force exerted by the magnet on the wire and then determine the poles of the magnet. For the bar magnet and the oscilloscope, draw the path of the electrons inside the cathode ray tube before the magnet approaches them. Then draw the direction of the force exerted on the electrons by each of the ends of the magnet After that, use the right hand rule to determine the poles of the magnet. Remember the green dot on the front of the oscilloscope is formed by negatively charged electrons.
