The document outlines an experiment to study the factors affecting the self-inductance of a coil by observing its effect in a circuit with a resistor and an adjustable frequency A.C. source. It includes the aim, apparatus, theory, procedure, observations, results, precautions, and sources of errors related to the experiment. Key findings indicate that inserting a soft iron rod decreases current and brightness, while decreasing frequency increases both current and brightness.

SOURCES OF ERRORS 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) auc.
ammeter of suitable range rheostat, a soft
iron rod, one way key, connecting wires etc. TTHEORY:-
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 = Hobe N7A
l
where n= Relative magnetic permeability of
magnetic material,
b=
" Ho
N = Total number of turns in solenoid
A = Area of cross-section of solenoid
1= length of solenoid. Hence, the self inductance depends upon:
1. No. of turns (N), L a N?
1
2. Geometry of coil, La A, La T
3. Nature of core material, La u
When an inductor is connected in series with
a resistor (bulb) with a variable source of
frequency, then current flowing in the bulb is
L _ Erms
rms ~~ Z
Where Z = /R? + w?l? = Impedance of the a.c.
circuit. Here
R = Resistance of the bulb
L= Self inductance of coil
w = 2mf= Angular frequency of a.c. source. The brightness of bulb i.e., Heat generated in
the bulb is

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 ( R;, ).
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

frequency of a.c. source.

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. . —~-—_—_—— = ———______—___—_.
