    The document describes calibrating an ammeter using Ohm's law. A circuit is set up with a DC power supply, resistor, and ammeter. The power supply is set to different voltage values and the corresponding theoretical and measured current values are recorded. The error percentage between the theoretical and measured currents is calculated at each point. Through this process, the ammeter is calibrated and its accuracy is determined based on the calculated error percentages.

    EXPERIMENT 2

    CALIBRATION OF AMMETER
    AIM:
    To calibrate the given Ammeter using Ohm’s Law.

    PRINCIPLE:
    Calibration of Ammeter is done based on the principle of Ohm’s Law. Ohm's law states that the
    current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the
    two points.
    V = IR or I = V/R

    APPARATUS REQUIRED:
    DC Power Supply, Ammeter (0-30mA), Resistor (1KΩ), Bread board and connecting wires.

    THEORY:
     Calibration is the act of comparing a device under test of an unknown value with a
    reference standard of a known value
     It is performed to determine the error or verify the accuracy of the device under test’s
    unknown value.
     It quantifies and controls errors or uncertainties within measurement processes to an
    acceptable level.
     An Ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. This has
    to be calibrated in order for it to work properly.

    PROCEDURE:
    Calibration of Ammeter:
     An Ammeter of range 0-30 mA, 1kΩ resistor and a DC power supply unit (0-
    30V) is taken.
     The positive of the DC power supply and one end of the resistor are connected in
    series in the bread board. The other end of the resistor is connected in series to the
    positive of the Ammeter.
     Similarly, the negative of the DC power supply and the Ammeter are connected in
    series in the bread board.
     The power supply is switched on and the voltage is set. This is denoted as V.
    Theoretical value of current is calculated from the given power supply volt and
    1kΩ resistor as I=V/R
     The corresponding reading in the Ammeter is taken and is denoted as I’. If the
    Ammeter is calibrated properly, it’ll show the same value set in the power supply.
     The experiment is repeated for different voltage values by adjusting the power
    supply.
     The error% is calculated for all the readings.

    S. No. Power Supply Theoretical value Given Ammeter reading Error%


    V (Volt) I = V/R mA I’ (mA) (I’-I)/I x 100
    Where, R=1KΩ
    1 2 2 1.8 10
    2 4 4 3.5 12.5
    3 6 6 5.5 8.3
    4 8 8 7.5 6.25
    5 10 10 9 10

    9 18 18 17.3 3.8
    10 20 20 19.5 2.5
    Sample Calculation
    For V=2V, I=V/R = 2/ 1kΩ = 2x10-3 = 2mA
    Error% = (I’-I)/I x 100 = (1.8-2)/2 x 100 = 10%

    RESULT: Thus the given ammeter is calibrated and the error% is calculated
