    Applied Physics For Scientists and Engineers: Lab Report: Determine The Given High Resistance by Leakage Method

    Uploaded by

    Hasham Ali
    The document describes an experiment to determine a high resistance value using the leakage method. The leakage method uses a ballistic galvanometer to measure the amount of charge discharged from a capacitor. A capacitor is charged through the unknown resistor and the initial and final deflections of the galvanometer are used to calculate the resistance value based on the capacitance and time. The experiment was performed taking readings at different time intervals. The resistance was calculated from the deflection readings using the given formula and the average resistance was found to be approximately 11 MΩ.

    Leakage Method:
    Leakage method is one of the most effective and accurate methods used to measure
    the value of very high resistances.

    Principle Used:
    In leakage method, main concept used to calculate the value of resistance is the
    charging and discharging of a capacitor. A ballistic galvanometer is used to measure the
    amount of charge that the capacitor/condenser discharges.

    Experiment:
    Apparatus Used:
    list of items required to measure resistance by leakage method:

    ● Ballistic galvanometer
    ● Power supply / accumulator
    ● Capacitor
    ● Resistor whose value is to be measured)
    ● Few connecting wires
    ● Tapping key & morse key
    ● Lamp and scale arrangement
    ● Stop watch

    Procedure:
    Following procedure is followed:
    1. Ballistic galvanometer is first calibrated to its zero point to remove any error.
    2. Dampening key is drawn out so that current can pass through the galvanometer
    2
    in order to take readings.

    3
    3. Press key K1 so that the current is charging the capacitor.
    4. Now key K1 is released and K2 is engaged.
    5. Charge on the capacitor will leake to Ballistic galvanometer and give an
    instant reading.
    6. The deflection θ and θ2 will be first and highest deflection of the pointer i.e.
    light spot.
    7. The dampening key is again inserted to reset the apparatus.
    8. Capacitor is charged by putting key k1 in its place.
    9. Releasing K1 and putting K3 back in its place for a known time T.
    10. Time is noted and K3 is released,
    11. K2 is pressed and reading on galvanometer is taken again.
    12. Reading is noted as θt.
    13. Θt should be less than θ0 because some charge is already leaked by pressing
    K3. Resistance is measured by K2 again by formula
    t
    R= θ0
    cln θt
    Where c is the capacitance of the capacitor.

    Readings:

    1 65 39 6 R=11.76 MΩ

    2 73 52 4 R=11.76 MΩ

    3 68 49 3.8 R=11.51 MΩ

    4 74 49 4 R=9.76 MΩ

    5 75 43 5 R=9.26 MΩ

    6 70 40 6 R=10.73 MΩ

    Precautions:
    Following precautions should be taken for this experiment:
    1. Calibrate galvanometer very precisely.
    2. Make connections tight and neat.
    3. Capacitor should be charged fully.
