THEORY: Ohm’s law states that ,the temperature remains constant, when the
current flowing through a conductor is direcly proportional to the potential
difference between the two ends and inversely proportional to the resistance of the
conductor.

Ie., V =IR, Where R is a constant called resistance of the circuit.

I = V/R , R = V/I.
Sl;No. V I Ra = V/I

PROCEDURE:

(a) For the Measurement of Armature Resistance:

Connections are made as per the connection diagram (1).A low volt DC
supply is applied ,by varying the rheostat different readings are taken, from
the volt meter and Ammeter and are tabulated.Repeat more set of readings
by adjusting the rheostat.From this Armature resistance can be calculated
by using the equation.

R = V/I , Mean value of Ra is calculated.

(b) For the Measurement of Series field Resistance:

Connections are made as per the connection diagram (2).A low volt DC
supply is applied ,by varying the rheostat different readings are taken, from
the volt meter and Ammeter and are tabulated. Repeat more set of readings
by adjusting the rheostat. From this Series field resistance can be calculated
by using the equation.

R = V/I , Mean value of Rse is calculated.

(c ) For the Measurement of Shunt field Resistance:

Connections are made as per the connection diagram (3).A 230 volt DC
supply is applied ,by varying the rheostat different readings are taken, from
the volt meter and Ammeter and are tabulated. Repeat more set of readings
by adjusting the rheostat. From this Shunt field resistance can be calculated
by using the equation.

R = V/I , Mean value of Rsh is calculated.

RESULT:

Armature resistance of the DC machine =

Series field resistance of the DC machine =

Shunt field resistance of the DC machine =
