Materials Required: A Resistance wire, voltmeter, ammeter, battery, rheostat, meter scale, one way key, connecting wires etc.

Theory: If I be the current flowing through a conductor & V be the potential difference across its ends, then according to Ohm’s law
V∝I
or V = RI
Where, R is the constant of proportionality. It is known as resistance of the conductor.
V/I=R
R depends upon the nature of material, temperature & dimensions of the conductor.







Procedure:
1. Clean the ends of the connecting wires with the help of sand paper in order to remove any insulating coating on them.
2. Connect various components - resistance, rheostat, battery, key, voltmeter and ammeter

3. Note whether pointers in milli-ammeter and voltmeter coincide with the zero mark on the measuring scale. If it is not so, adjust the pointer to coincide with the zero mark by adjusting the screw provided near the base of the needle using a screw driver.

4. Note the range and least count of the given voltmeter and milliammeter.

5. Insert the key K and slide the rheostat contact to one of its extreme ends, so that current passing through the resistance wire is minimum.
6. Note the milli-ammeter and voltmeter readings.

7. Remove the key K and allow the wire to cool, if heated. Again insert the key. Shift the rheostat contact slightly to increase the applied voltage. Note the milli-ammeter and voltmeter reading.
8. Repeat step 7 for four different settings of the rheostat. Record your observations in a tabular form.


OBSERVATIONS:
1. Range of ammeter = 0 ... mA to ...mA

2. Least count of ammeter = ... mA

3. Range of voltmeter = 0 ... V to ...V

4. Least count of voltmeter = ...V

5. Least count of meter scale = ... m

6. Length of the given wire, l = ...m


RESULT:
1. The potential difference across the given wire varies linearly with
the current.
2. The resistance per unit length of the wire is (R ± ΔR) = (... ... Ωm-1).

EXP-2> TO DETERMINE RESISTANCE OF GALVANOMETER BY HALF DEFLECTION METHOD AND TO FIND ITS FIGURE OF MERIT.


MATERIAL REQUIRED: A moving coil galvanometer, a battery or a battery eliminator (0 - 6 V), one resistance box (R-BOX 1) of range 0-10kΩ, one resistance box(R-BOX 2) of range 0-200Ω, 2 one way keys, voltmeter, connecting wires and a piece of sand paper.

Theory: Galvanometer is a sensitive device used to detect very low current. Its working is based on the principle that a coil placed in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque when an electric current is set up in it. The deflection of the coil is determined by a pointer attached to it, moving on the scale. When a coil carrying current I is placed in a radial magnetic field, the coil experiences a deflection θ which is related to I as
I=kθ
where k is a constant of proportionality and is termed as figure of merit of the galvanometer.










Procedure:
1. Clean the connecting wires with sand paper and make neat and tight connections as per the circuit diagram

2. From the high resistance box (R-BOX 1) (1-10 kΩ), remove 5 kΩ key and then close the key K1. Adjust the resistance R from this resistance box to get full scale deflection on the galvanometer dial. Record the values of resistance, R and deflection θ.

3. Insert the key K2 and keep R fixed. Adjust the value of shunt resistance S to get the deflection in the galvanometer which is exactly half of θ. Note down S. Remove plug K2 after noting down the value of shunt resistance, S.

4. Take five sets of observations by repeating steps 2 and 3 so that θ is even number of divisions and record the observations for R, S, θ and 2 in tabular form.

5. Calculate the galvanometer resistance G and figure of merit k of
galvanometer using Equations.



OBSERVATIONS:
Emf of the battery E =.....V
Number of divisions on full scale of galvanometer = ....


RESULT:
1. Resistance of galvanometer by half deflection method, G = ... Ω
2. Figure of merit of galvanometer, k = ...ampere/division

EXP-3> TO VERIFY LAWS OF COMBINATION OF RESISTOR USING A METER BRIDGE.

Materials Required: Meter bridge, galvanometer, one way key, a resistance box, battery, jockey, two unknown resistance wires, and connecting wires.

Theory: The effective resistance Xs of the combination of two resistors when connected in series can be calculated by :
Xs = X1+ X2-----------(i)
The resistance (X ) of a resistor is given by:
-----------(ii)
Where ‘l’ is the balancing length and R, the known resistance.






Procedure:
(i) Measure the unknown resistances X1and X2 separately using the procedure explained in experiment 2, after making the suitable connections as done in experiment 2. Here you can find the value of unknown resistances without interchanging the R. B. and unknown wire in the gaps.

(ii) After finding the value of X1 and X2, connect the two in series as shown in figure.

(iii) Proceed in the same way as in experiment 2. Take at least three sets of observations for balance point lying between 30 cm and 70 cm.

(iv) Calculate the effective resistances using equation (ii).

(vi) Compare the measured values of effective resistances using Meter Bridge with the calculated values.


OBSERVATIONS:
1. Range of ammeter = 0 ... mA to ...mA
2. Least count of ammeter = ... mA
3. Range of voltmeter = 0 ... V to ...V
4. Least count of voltmeter = ...V
5. Length of the wire of unknown resistance, L = ...cm


RESULT:
The value of unknown resistances X1 = ... and X2 = ....
The value of effective resistance in series:
By calculation = ...
By experiment, = ....
Hence the law of combination of resistances in series is verified.

EXP-4> To find resistance of a given wire using meter bridge and hence determine the specific resistance of its material.

Materials Required: A meter bridge, galvanometer, one way key, a resistance box, a battery jockey, unknown resistance wire about 1 meter long, screw gauge and connecting wires.

Theory: A meter bridge is the practical application of Wheatstone bridge arrangement as shown in figure below. The four resistances are connected to each other as shown and if the bridge is inbalanced state, i.e., there is no deflection in the galvanometer (G),
P/Q=R/S
We can use this relation to find the unknown resistance of the given material of wire. The unknown resistance 'X' can be found by Meter bridge which uses the principle of Wheatstone bridge.
The unknown resistance 'X' of the given wire is obtained by relation:

And specific resistance of the material of a given a wire is obtained by:

where d = diameter of the wire and L = length of wire.
