Testing EMF: Experimental Verification Methods

[nodnil]

Hi there,

For an assignment at school I chosen to investigate EMF. I have chosen to focus my investigation around cabling at concerts in an attempt to answer the question: How does the EMF generated by cabling affect each other. I have done some research and found that if cables are run at right angles to each other that there is no EMF interference as the waves 'cancel' each other out. However, I need a way to experimentally verify this. I have tried experimenting with a speaker (causing the speaker to crackle when EMF is generated) but this did not find quantifiable results.

Thank-you

for your help.One way to experimentally verify the effects of EMF interference is by using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer. This type of equipment measures the amplitude and frequency of different signals, and can be used to measure the amount of EMF that is produced when two cables are run at right angles to each other. By comparing the EMF generated with the cables run parallel versus running them at right angles, you can determine if the waves “cancel” each other out. Additionally, you can use an EMF meter to measure the electromagnetic fields around the cables and see if they are affected by the orientation of the cables.
