wwe ume of repairing or any other aes me of repaiting or any dahey pact ACTivity Jam To assemble the components of a given electrical circuit (say Ohm's law circuit used to measure resistance) | Apparatus AND MATERIAL REQUIRED A resistor, an ammeter (0-1.5 A), a voltmeter (0-5 V), a battery/battery eliminator, one-way key, theostat, connecting wires and a piece of sand paper. L HEORY For assembling the components of any circuit, it is advisable to connect the components in the following order. 1. Source of power (battery/battery eliminator). 2. Plug key (near the battery). 3. Resistors, bulbs, inductors or any other load (to be connected end to end). 103Laircu [Leroci LAB MANUAL PHYSICS-XIl 4.

Draw the circuit diagram required for the given activity and arrange the components accordingly on the work table as shown in Fig. 9. Clean the ends of the connecting wires with a piece of sand paper. Connect the battery, ammeter A, resistance R, rheostat Rh and plug key K all in series and voltmeter V in parallel with resistor R. See that the positive ends of ammeter and voltmeter are connected towards the positive terminal of the battery. Insert the plug in the key K.Sce that the ammeter and voltmeter show deflections on the right hand (positive) side. Adjust the rheostat so that the deflections are within scale. The deflections in ammeter and voltmeter verify the continuity of the assembled circuit. 2 3. 4, 5. l CONCLUSION The components of the given electrical circuit have been correctly assembled. i PRECAUTIONS. 1. What do you meant emf a of cell ? 1. Before making the connections, clean the ends of the connecting wires with a piece of sand paper 2. Make neat and tight connections. 3. The ammeter should be connected in series and voltmeter in parallel with the resistor. 4. The positive ends of both ammeter and voltmeter should be e © positive terminal of the battery. connected’ to the pos) An ammeter is connected in series in a circuit 0 that ‘The emf of a cell is equal to the potential difference between its terminals when no current is being drawn from the cell 2 Does the current drawn from the cll ‘constant ?
