You are provided with cells, a potentiometer, an ammeter, a voltmeter, a bulb, a key, a jockey, and other necessary materials.
- Measure and record the emf E of the battery.
- Set up a circuit as shown in the diagram above.
- Close the key K and use the jockey to make a firm contact at J on the potentiometer wire such that PJ = x = 10cm.
- Take the record of the voltmeter reading V and the corresponding ammeter reading I.
- Evaluate log V and log I.
- Repeat the procedure for other values of x =20, 30. 40, 50, and 60cm.
- Tabulate your readings.
- Plot a graph with the log I on the vertical axis and log V on the horizontal axis.
- Determine the slope, s, of the graph.
- Determine the intercept, c, on the vertical axis.
- State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results.
(b)i. How is the brightness of the bulb affected as x increases? Give a reason for your answer.
ii. List two electrical devices whose actions do not obey ohm's law
