AIM : To assemble the components of a given electrical circuit.
APPARATUS AND MATERIAL REQUIRED :
Resistor Rheostat
Battery Connecting wires
Voltmeter(0-5 V) Plug key
Ammeter Sand paper
.PROCEDURE :
1. Clean the connecting wires with sand paper.
2. Connect the components in series as shown in Fig.
3. Connect the ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel.
4. Close the key K, check the voltmeter and ammeter readings to ensure that the circuit is
working.
5. Check the continuity of the assembled circuit using a multimeter.
RESULTS:
The components of the electrical circuit have been successfully assembled.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. The ammeter should be connected in series with the resistor and the voltmeter
should be connected in parallel with the resistor.
2. The positive terminal of the battery should be connected to the positive terminal of
ammeter and positive terminal of the voltmeter.
3. Sand paper should be used to clean the ends of connecting wires .
4. Insert the key only while taking observations to prevent heating of resistance.
