EXPERIMENT NO.

5: Ohm's Law

AIM: To study the dependence of potential difference (V) on current (I) across a resistor and verify Ohm's
Law.

APPARATUS: Battery eliminator, Unknown resistor, Ammeter (0-3A), Voltmeter (0-5V), Rheostat, Plug
key, Connecting wires.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connect battery, ammeter, resistor, rheostat, and key in series.
2. Connect voltmeter in parallel across the resistor.
3. Insert key and adjust rheostat for minimum reading.
4. Record Ammeter (I) and Voltmeter (V) readings.
5. Take 3 sets of readings.

OBSERVATION TABLE:
[Link] Voltmeter(V) Ammeter(I) R = V/I
1. 0.5 V 0.25 A 2.0 Ohm
2. 1.0 V 0.50 A 2.0 Ohm
3. 1.5 V 0.75 A 2.0 Ohm

PRECAUTIONS: Connections must be tight. Voltmeter must be in parallel. Check for zero error.

RESULT: The ratio V/I is constant. Ohm's Law is verified.


EXPERIMENT NO. 6: Test for Starch

AIM: To test for the presence of starch in food samples.

APPARATUS: Potato slice, Boiled rice, Iodine solution, Dropper.

PROCEDURE:
1. Place food sample on a watch glass.
2. Add 2-3 drops of iodine solution.
3. Observe color change.

OBSERVATION TABLE:
Exp: Add Iodine to Potato/Rice
Obs: Color turns Blue-Black
Inf: Starch is present

PRECAUTIONS: Use fresh samples. Do not touch dropper to food.

RESULT: Blue-black color confirms presence of starch.


EXPERIMENT NO. 7: Soap in Soft vs Hard Water

AIM: To compare foaming capacity of soap in soft and hard water.

APPARATUS: Test tubes, Distilled water, Hard water, Soap solution.

PROCEDURE:
1. Take 10ml soft water in Tube A, 10ml hard water in Tube B.
2. Add 5 drops soap to both.
3. Shake vigorously for 15s.
4. Compare foam height.

OBSERVATION TABLE:
Tube A (Soft): High Lather -> Effective
Tube B (Hard): Scum/No Lather -> Not Effective

PRECAUTIONS: Use equal water and soap amounts. Shake equally.

RESULT: Soap cleans better in soft water.


EXPERIMENT NO. 8: pH Determination

AIM: To determine pH of samples using pH paper.

APPARATUS: pH paper, Lemon Juice, Water, NaOH, HCl.

PROCEDURE:
1. Put drop of sample on pH paper.
2. Match color with chart.
3. Note pH.

OBSERVATION TABLE:
Lemon Juice: Orange-Red (pH 2.5) - Acidic
Tap Water: Green (pH 7.0) - Neutral
Dilute NaOH: Violet (pH 13) - Basic
Dilute HCl: Red (pH 1.0) - Acidic

PRECAUTIONS: Clean glass rod between samples. Use fresh strips.

RESULT: pH values determined successfully.
