AIM: 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 (0-1.5A), a


voltmeter(0-5V), a battery/battery eliminator, one-way key, rheostat, connecting
wires and a piece of sand paper.

THEORY: 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).

4. Measuring instruments ammeter, voltmeter, meter bridge, potentiometer, etc.


ammeter is connected in series and voltmeter in parallel with the load with
positive ends of both towards the positive terminal of the battery.

PROCEDURE:

1. Draw the circuit diagram required for the given activity and arrange the
components accordingly on the work table as shown in fig.

2. Clean the ends of the connecting wires with a piece of sand paper.

3. 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.

4. Insert the plug in the key K. See that the ammeter and voltmeter show
deflections on the right hand (positive) side. Adjust the rheostat so that the
deflections are within scale.

5. The deflections in the ammeter and voltmeter verify the continuity of the
assembled circuit.
CONCLUSION:

The components of the given electrical circuit have been correctly assembled.

PERCAUTION:

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 connected to the
positive terminal of the battery.
