Physics Prac

The document outlines a physics practical to investigate Ohm's Law using a galvanometer, ammeter, and voltmeter. It includes objectives, apparatus needed, a detailed procedure, and analysis for verifying the law through experimentation. Observations from the experiment are used to discuss the relationship between voltage and current, and potential deviations due to errors are noted.

can i get a physics practical having a galvanometer, ammeter and a voltmeter
Copilot said
Certainly! Here's an idea for a physics practical using a galvanometer, ammet
er, and voltmeter:

Practical: Investigating Ohm's Law

Objective: To verify Ohm's Law, which states that the current through a cond
uctor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two
points, provided the temperature remains constant.

Apparatus:

1. Galvanometer
2. Ammeter
3. Voltmeter
4. Resistor (known resistance)
5. Variable power supply (or battery pack with a rheostat)
6. Connecting wires
7. Switch

Procedure:

1. Set up the circuit:


 Connect the power supply, resistor, ammeter, and switch in series.
 Connect the voltmeter across the resistor to measure the potential differ
ence.
 If a galvanometer is included, you can use it to test the deflection cause
d by small currents in parallel with the resistor (but not essential for Oh
m's Law).
2. Close the switch and adjust the power supply to vary the voltage across the re
sistor.
3. For each voltage value, measure the corresponding current using the ammete
r and record both values.
4. Repeat the experiment for multiple voltage and current readings.
5. Plot a graph of voltage (V) on the y-axis against current (I) on the x-axis.

Observations: If the plot is a straight line passing through the origin, Ohm's L
aw is verified. The slope of the line gives the resistance of the resistor.

Analysis and Discussion:

 Discuss the linear relationship between voltage and current.


 Compare the slope of the graph to the known resistance of the resistor.
 Explain how any deviations could be due to experimental errors or heating eff
ects.

Would you like more variations or additional details for this practical?

What are some other experiments I can do with these devices?How should I
present my results and findings?What common errors should I watch out for in
this practical?
