Using the diagram as a out the guide carry out the following instructions:

  1. Place the pin O horizontally inside the cylinder provided. Pour some water on the pin in the cylinder such that the length of the water column / = SO = 10.0cm, where S place the represents the water meniscus.
  2. lnsert another pin, P in the cork held by the boss of the retort stand.
  3. Adjust the position of P vertically upward or 0 formed by refraction at S.
  4. Read and record the distance h = PO.
  5. Repeat the procedure for four other values of 1= 15, 20, 25, and 30cm.

You are provided with two wires marked P and C. a resistor R\(_{s}\) = 1\(\Omega\) and other necessary apparatus.

  1. Connect R\(_{s}\) in the left-hand gap of the metre bridge, a length L= 100cm of wire P in the right-hand gap and the other apparatus as shown in the diagram: above
  2. Determine the balance point B on the bridge wire AC
  3. Measure and record AB =/s, and BC = /
  4. Evaluate R\(_{1}\) = (\(\frac{|_{p}}{|_{s}}\))Rs
  5. Repeat the procedure for four other values of L = 90, 80, 70 and 60cm. In each case obtain and record the value of |\(_{s}\) and |\(_{p}\) and evaluate R\(_{1}\) = (\(\frac{|_{p}}{|_{s}}\))Rs
  6. Repeat the experiment with the second wire, Q. Obtain the value of |\(_{s}\) and |\(_{Q}\) for equal lengths of wire as used in wire P.
  7. Evaluate R\(_{1}\) = (\(\frac{|_{p}}{|_{s}}\))Rs. In each case, tabulate your readings.
  8. Plot a graph of R\(_{2}\) on the Vertical axis against R\(_{1}\) on the horizontal axis.
  9. Determine the slope S, of the graph.
  10. Evaluate the k = \(\sqrt s\).
  11. State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results.
