Book Free DemoThis experiment requires a coil of wire, a screw gauge, a metre scale, battery, key, ammeter, voltmeter, rheostat and connecting wires.
An electric circuit
Formula:
Procedure:
• Connect the battery, ammeter, wire, rheostat, and key in series, and the voltmeter in parallel to the unknown resistor.
• Close the key.
• Now, adjust the rheostat such that the ammeter reads a current of \(0.5\ A\).
• Note down the potential difference in the voltmeter.
• Again, adjust the rheostat and change the current in steps of \(0.5\ A\).
• For each current, note the corresponding potential difference in the voltmeter.
• Note down the values.
• Using a screw gauge and a metre scale, measure the diameter of the wire and the length of the coil, respectively.
