ELECTRICITY

Connect the circuit at shown in the diagram above:-

Close the key k. read and record the emitters reading Io when the clip is not constant wire. Open the key with clip making constant with the constant wire when l=80cm. close the key read and record the ammeter and I.

Repeat the procedure with l=70,60,50,40 and 30 respectively in each case read and record ammeter reading I. evaluate I-1 .

Tabulate your readings.

plot a graph of I on the vertical axis against I-1 on the horizontal axis starting from the origin (0.0) Determine the slope S of the graph and its intercept C

Evaluate P=C/S. using your graph determine the current I when I=55cm.

State two precautions taken to ensure accurate result

Explain what is mean by potential difference between two point in an electric circuit.

State two factor on which the resistance of a wire depend.

The resistivity of a given wire of cross sectional area 0.7mm¬¬¬2 is 4.9x10-4 ohm’s

Calculate the resistance of two length of a wire…

LIGHT

I. Trace the outline ABCD of a glass block on a sheet of paper as shown above.

II. Remove the block mark a position very close to A draw the normal at the point N.

III. Draw the incident ray such that the angle of incidence i=20¬o

IV. Fix two pins at the point P and Q on the incidence ray

V. Replace the black and fix two other pins at R and S such the pins appear to be at P and Q when viewed through side D.C of the glass block.

VI. Remove the block and join the points at R and S producing the line to meet DC at F

VII. Join NF

VIII. Draw the normal EF, at F and produce it to meet the force AB at G

IX. Extend PG to meet the normal EF at H.

X. Measure and record in the table below NF and NH

Repeat the experiment i=30¬o,40¬o, 50¬o, and 60¬o in each case, measure NF and read your readings in the table below.

Plot a graph of NF on the vertical axis and NH on the horizontal axis. Determine the slope of the graph.
