ACTIVITY A4

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 − 500mA), a voltmeter (0 − 3 V), 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, metre 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.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

PROCEDURE
1. Draw the circuit diagram required for the given activity and arrange the components
accordingly on the work table as shown in Fig. 9.
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 ammeter and voltmeter verify the continuity of the assembled circuit.

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

PRECAUTIONS
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.
