Experiment 1 Aim: Studying The Dependence of Potential Difference (V) Across A Resistor On The Current (I) Passing

This document provides instructions for an experiment to determine the resistance of a coil by measuring potential difference (V) across it for different values of current (I) passing through it. The experiment involves setting up a circuit with the coil, battery, ammeter and voltmeter. Readings of current and potential difference are noted in an observation table for different positions of a rheostat. A graph is plotted between V and I which should be a straight line. The resistance is calculated from the slope of the graph and mean values are calculated. Precautions regarding safety, avoiding errors and taking proper readings are also outlined.

Experiment 1

Aim: Studying the dependence of potential difference (V) across a resistor on the current (I) passing
through it and determining its resistance. Also plotting a graph between V and I.

Apparatus Required: Resistance coil, connecting wires, key, battery eliminator, ammeter, and voltmeter

Circuit Diagram:

𝑉
Formula: 𝑅= Ω
𝐼

Procedure:
1. The components are connected as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Least count of ammeter and voltmeter are noted and checked for zero error.
3. Once the connections are verified, rheostat is adjusted such that there is deflection in ammeter and voltmeter.
4. The ammeter and voltmeter readings are noted in the observation table.
5. The experiment is repeated by changing the position of the rheostat and each time ammeter and voltmeter
readings are noted.
6. A graph is drawn between V and I choosing proper scales.
7. Resistance of the coil is calculated from the slope of the graph

Precautions:

1. When not in use , switch off the power supply.


2. Note down zero errors if any in voltmeter or ammeter , if any and corrections are done.
3. Readings are noted from meters by placing our eye in line with it to avoid parallax error.
4. Rheostat of low resistance is used to get better variations can be brought in current.

Result:
The current through the resistor is directly proportional to potential difference as the graph is a straight line.
The value of the resistance is found to be ____________ Ω.
