ACKNOWLEDGMENT
My Sincere efforts have made me to accomplish the
task of completing this project. I have taken effort in
this project. However, it would not have been
possible without the kind support and help of many
individuals .I would like to express my sincere
gratitude to my Principal MRS, JK SAWHNEY and
the school for providing me facilities required to do
my project.
I am highly indebted to my Physics Teacher
MR. VIVEK PATHAK For his valuable
guidance which has promoted my efforts in all the
stages of this project work. My sincere thanks and
appreciation go to my classmates and friends for
their helpful suggestions and feedback on my
research and findings.
Finally, words are not sufficient to express gratitude
my cherished family members for supporting me
without their encouragement and support I would
have not reached this stage.

AIM:-
To study the factor on which the self-
inductance of a coil depends by
observing the effect of this coil, when put
in series with a resistor(bulb) in a circuit
fed up by an A.C. source of adjustable
frequency.
APPARATUS:-
A coil of large turns, A.C.. source of
adjustable frequency, an electrical bulb,
(6V) A.C. ammeter of suitable range
rheostat, a soft iron rod, one way key,
connecting wires etc.
THEORY
Self inductance is the property of a coil.
Which opposes the change in current
through it .The self inductance of
coil(long solenoid )is
£ = µ0µrN2A
L
Where µr = Relative magnetic
permeability of magnetic material
µr= µ
µ0
N= Total number of turns in solenoid
A = Area of cross section of solenoid
L = length of solenoid

1. No. of turns (N)
2. Geometry of coil,
3. Nature of core material,
When an inductor is connected in series with a
resistor (bulb) with a variable source of frequency,
then current flowing in the bulb is
Irms = Erms
Z
Where
Z = (R2+ ω2L2 )1/2 = I m p e d a n c e o f t h e
a.c. circuit. Here
R = Resistance of the bulb
L = Self-inductance of coil
ω = 2πf = Angular frequency of a.c. source
The brightness of bulb i.e. Heat generated in the
bulb is
H = I2rmsZt
P = H = I2rmsZ
T
P = Irms(R2 + ω2L2)1/2
PROCEDURE
1. Make all the connections as shown
in the circuit diagram.
2. S w i t c h o n t h e a . c . s u p p l y &
adjust the current in the
c i r c u i t b y using the variable
resistor(Rh).
3. Record the current in a.c .ammeter & see the
brightness of bulb.
4. Now, put the soft iron rod inside the
conductor core & record the current in a.c
.ammeter & again check the brightness of
bulb. The current & brightness
both decreases.
5. Now, switch off the supply &decrease the
frequency of a.c. source (say 50 Hz).
6. Again switch on the supply &adjust the
current in circuit at same constant voltage 6V
by using the rheostat. Note the current in
ammeter & brightness of bulb. The current &
brightness both will increase.
7. Again insert the iron rod in the core of coil &
note the current &brightness. The current &
brightness both decreases.
8. Repeat the steps 5, 6 and 7 for different
frequency of a.c. source.
OBSERVATIONS:-
1. Least count of ammeter = 0.05 A.
2. Zero error of ammeter = 0 A
S Frequency Current in Current in
NO of applied ammeter ammeter with
voltage without iron rod in
(Hz) iron rod in coil (A)
coil (A)
1. 60 2 1.8
2. 50 2.5 2.3
3. 40 2.9 2.6
4. 30 3.4 3.25
5. 20 4.1 4
RESULT:-
1. The current in the circuit decrease on
inserting the iron rod in the core of coil at
constant frequency of applied voltage
&brightness of bulb decreases &vice-versa.
2. The current in the circuit increases on
decreasing the frequency of applied voltage
&vice-versa. Therefore, the brightness of bulb
increases.
PRECAUTONS :
1. The coil should have large numbers of turns.
2. Current should be passed for a small time to
avoid the heating effect.
SOURCE OF ERROR :
1. The resistance of circuit may increase slightly
due to heating effect of current.
2. There may be eddy current in soft iron coil.
