OBJECTIVE
To study the factor on which the self inductance of a coil
depends by observing the effect of this coil, when put in series
with a resistor (bulb) in a circuit fed up by an A.C source of
adjustable frequency.
THEORY
Self inductance is the property of a coil which opposes the
change in current through it. The self-inductance of a coil (long
solenoid) is

PROCEDURE
2. Switch on the A.C. supply & adjust the current in the circuit by
using the variable resistor (𝑅h).
4. Now, put the soft iron rod inside the conductor core & record
the current in A.C. ammeter & again check the brightness of
bulb. The current & brightness both decreases.
5. Now, switch off the supply & decrease the frequency of A.C.
source (say 50 Hz).
7. Again insert the iron rod in the core of coil & note the current
& brightness. The current & brightness both decreases.

RESULT
1. The current in the circuit decrease on inserting the iron rod in
the core of coil at constant frequency of applied voltage &
brightness of bulb decreases & vice-versa.
PRECAUTIONS
1. The coil should have large number of turns.
SOURCES OF ERROR
1. The resistance of circuit may increase lightly due to heating
effect of current.
