SECTION A

Experiments
(Any 7 experiments out of the following to be performed by the students)

  1. To find resistance of a given wire using metre bridge and hence determine the specific resistance of its material
  2. To determine resistance per cm of a given wire by plotting a graph of potential difference versus current.
  3. To verify the laws of combination (series/parallel) of resistances using a metre bridge.
  4. To compare the emf of two given primary cells using potentiometer.
  5. To determine the internal resistance of given primary cell using potentiometer.
  6. To determine resistance of a galvanometer by half-deflection method and to find its figure of merit.
  7. To convert the given galvanometer (of known resistance and figure of merit) into an ammeter and voltmeter of desired range and to verify the same.
  8. To find the frequency of the a.c. mains with a sonometer.

Activities

  1. To measure the resistance and impedance of an inductor with or without iron core.
  2. To measure resistance, voltage (AC/DC), current (AC) and check continuity of a given circuit using multimeter.
