    To Verify The Laws Of Combination (Parallel) Of


    Resistances Using A Metre Bridge

    Aim:
    To verify the laws of combination (parallel) of resistances using a metre bridge

    Materials Required:
    1. 2 different resistances (carbon or wire-wound resistors),
    2. metre bridge,
    3. galvanometer,
    4. a cell or battery eliminator,
    5. a jockey,
    6. a rheostat,
    7. a resistance box,
    8. a plug key,
    9. sandpaper and
    10. thick connecting wires.

    Theory:
    Consider two resistances, r1 and r2, are connected in series.

    The series combination resistance RS is given by RS = r1 + r2

    When connected in parallel, the resistance of the combination is given by Rp

    Procedure
    1. Set up the circuit as shown in the figure above.

    2. Connect R1 and R2 as shown in the figure.

    3. Tighten all plugs in the resistance box by pressing and rotating each plug to assure that all plugs
    make good electrical connections. Using sandpaper, clean the ends of connecting wires before
    making the connections.

    4. Remove some plug(s) from the resistance box to get the suitable value of resistance R

    5. Get a null point D on the metre bridge wire by sliding the jockey between ends A and C.

    6. Note the value of the resistance R and lengths AD and DC.

    7. Calculate the experimental value of the equivalent parallel resistance

    8. Repeat the experiment for four more values of resistance R. Obtain the mean value of unknown
    resistance.

    Observations And Calculations

    sl. Resistance Resistance from the Length Length Rp=10 Mean


    no R (ohm) resistance box R (ohm) AD=l DC=100-1 0-1/l resistance
    (ohm)

    R1 only 1 r1 =

    r2 only 1 r2 =

    r1 and r2 1 Rp =

    Precautions
    Ensure the connection is neat, clean and tight

    Insert key only while taking an observation

    Move jockey gently over the metre bridge wire.

    Sources Of Error
    The instrument screw may be loose

    Unavailability of thick connecting wires

    Result
    The experimental value of Xp = ohm

    The theoretical value of Xp = ohm

    The experimental and theoretical value of Xp is found to be the same. Hence, the law of resistance
    in parallel is verified.
