    The document summarizes an electrical engineering lab experiment on developing a variable voltage supply using a variable resistor. The objectives were to learn how a rheostat works, understand potentiometers, and calculate percentage error in resistance measurements. Students Muhammad, Abdullah, and Abdullah constructed the circuit using a breadboard, wires, variable resistor, power supply and multimeter. They simulated the circuit, measured voltages and resistances across the potentiometer at varying intervals, and calculated percentage error, finding it to be within acceptable limits. Key lessons included how rheostats control current and potentiometers vary resistance when using different terminals.

    TITLE
    Developing a variable voltage supply using variable resistor.
    OBJECTIVES
     To learn how rheostat works and its uses.
     To learn about potentiometer.
     Calculate the percentage error between R measured and R calculated across the
    two terminals of potentiometer at different voltages.
     To understand the effect of load addition on voltage

    COMPONENTS USED
     Breadboard
     Wires
     Resistor (rheostat)

    EQUIPMENT USED
     variable resistor
     power supply
     multimeter

    2. Abdullah Tahir:

    Simulation:

    Procedure:

     Using the proteus software I designed the following circuit.


     In this circuit, I connected a potentiometer’s (500kΩ) 1st and 3rd terminal
    with the positive and negative ends of the battery as shown above.
     Then across the 1st and 2nd terminal, I connected a voltmeter, with the help
    of which I varied the voltage between these 2 terminals and calculated the
    resistance.
     I varied the voltage in regular intervals and calculated the value of
    resistance.

    Procedure:

    Procedure For Hardware:


     We first simulated the circuit on simulation software.
     Then we gathered all the equipment’s required.
    AB R
     By using this formula Vo= R ×V we calculated Resistance Rab.
    AC

     Where, V is the voltage from the power supply (at our standard, we affix its
    value at 20V, a DC power supply source.
     Rac is the resistance of the potentiometer, considering it to be 494 kΩ
     For percentage error:

    Lesson Learnt:

    Abdullah Tahir:
     Rheostat is an electrical instrument used to control a current by varying the
    resistance.
     Ohmmeter supplies voltage to the resistance by itself and then it calculates
    the voltage drop across the resistance and calculates the resistance according
    to the amount of voltage drop across the resistor.
     Power delivered to a system shall be maximum when the value of load
    resistance matches with that of internal resistance of battery.

    Muhammad Wasiq Saleem:

     If only two terminals of potentiometer are used, one end and the wiper, it
    acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.
     The circuit should be completed using the middle portion of the
    potentiometer, unless resistance cannot be varied.
     Potentiometer has voltage source attached to a rheostat
