Project

Name:

Class: XII

Roll No:
AIM: -
To study the factor on which the self-
inductance of a coil depends by observing the
effect of this coil, when put in series with a
resistor (bulb) in a circuit fed up by an A.C.

source of adjustable frequency.

APPARATUS: -
A coil of large turns, A.C source of adjustable
frequency, an electrical bulb, (6V) A.C
ammeter of suitable range rheostat, a soft
iron rod, one way key, connecting wires etc.
THEORY: -
Self-inductance is the property of a coil which
opposes the change in current through it. The
self-inductance of a coil (long solenoid) is:

L = µ0.µ𝑟.𝑁2𝐴
L

where µ𝑟 = Relative magnetic permeability of

µ𝑟 µ
magnetic material,

µ0
N = Total number of turns in solenoid

A = Area of cross-section of solenoid

l= length of solenoid.

Hence, the self-inductance depends upon:

1. No. of turns (N), L α N²

𝒍
2. Geometry of coil, L α A, L α 1

3. Nature of core material, L α µ

When an inductor is connected in series with


a resistor (bulb) with a variable source of
frequency, then current flowing in the bulb is

𝐼𝑟𝑚𝑠 = 𝐸𝑟𝑚𝑠
z
Where Z = √𝑅2 + 𝜔2𝐿2 = Impedance of the
a.c. circuit. Here

R = Resistance of the bulb

L = Self inductance of coil

𝜔 = 2πf = Angular frequency of a.c. source.


The brightness of bulb i.e., Heat generated in
the bulb is

H = 𝐼𝑟𝑚𝑠2 Zt

= 𝐻 2Z
= 𝐼𝑟𝑚𝑠
P

P = 𝐼𝑟𝑚𝑠2 √𝑅2 + 𝜔2𝐿2


CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:-

PROCEDURE:-
1. Make all connections as shown in the
circuit diagram.

2. Switch on the a.c. supply & adjust the


current in the circuit by using the variable
resistor ( 𝑅ℎ ).
3. Record the current in a.c. ammeter & see
the brightness of bulb.

4. Now, put the soft iron rod inside the


conductor core & record the current in a.c.
ammeter & again check the brightness of
bulb. The current & brightness both
decreases.

5. Now, switch off the supply & decrease the


frequency of a.c. source (say 50 Hz).

6. Again switch on the supply & adjust the


current in circuit at same constant voltage
6V by using the rheostat. Note the current
in ammeter & brightness of bulb. The
current & brightness both will increase.

7. Again insert the iron rod in the core of coil


& note the current & brightness. The current
& brightness both decreases.

8. Repeat the steps 5, 6 and 7 for different


frequency of a.c. source.

OBSERVATIONS:-
1. Least count of ammeter = 0.05 A.

2. Zero error of ammeter = 0 A.

3. Range of ammeter = 0 – 5 A.

2. 50 2.5 2.3
3. 40 2.9 2.6
4. 30 3.4 3.25
5. 20 4.1 4

RESULT:-
1. The current in the circuit decrease on
inserting the iron rod in the core of coil at
constant frequency of applied voltage &
brightness of bulb decreases & vice-versa.

2. The current in the circuit increases on


decreasing the frequency of applied voltage &
vice-versa. Therefore, the brightness of bulb
increases.
PRECAUTIONS:-
1. The coil should have large number of
turns.

2. Current should be passed for a small time


to avoid the heating effect.

SOURCES OF ERRORS:-
1. The resistance of circuit may increase
slightly due to heating effect of current.

2. There may be eddy current in soft iron


coil.
