Abstract
The purpose of the experiment was to find a pattern in EMF reading related to temperature, pressure, and humidity. The results of this study suggest that that EMF readings varied because of pressure, temperature, and humidity. The hypothesis (H1) stated that if the temperature is above 15° C and the pressure is greater than 760 mmHg, then the EMF reading should be stronger. The results supported H1; the EMF at all locations was related to temperatures. The EMF was related to pressure at the library and humidity at the middle school. The hypothesis (H2) stated that if the temperature is above 15° C the pressure is greater than 760 mmHg and humidity is above 24%, then the EMF reading should be weaker. The results of this study also supported H2; EMF readings were impacted by by humidity at both the library and the center of campus, and pressure at the middle school. The null hypothesis (H0) stated that if the temperature is above 15° C the pressure is greater than 760 mmHg and humidity is above 24%, then there would be no change in the EMF readings. H0 at the center of campus was supported by pressure.
