To determine the resistance per cm of a given wire by plotting a graph of potential difference versus current, and hence to determine its resistivity.
Ohm’s Law Apparatus: To determine the resistance per cm of a given wire by plotting a graph of potential difference versus current, and hence to determine its resistivity. According to the Ohm’s law, “The current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends provided the physical conditions (temperature, dimensions, … Continue reading “To determine the resistance per cm of a given wire by plotting a graph of potential difference versus current, and hence to determine its resistivity.”

To find the focal length of a convex mirror using a convex lens.
Convex Mirror – Focal Length: The Theory: Convex mirror A convex mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflecting surface bulges towards the light source. Convex mirrors reflect light outwards; therefore they are not used to focus light. A convex mirror is also known as fish eye mirror or diverging mirror. The image formed … Continue reading “To find the focal length of a convex mirror using a convex lens.”
To find the focal length of the given concave mirror by
The Concave mirror – u-v method: Spherical mirrors It is a mirror which has the shape of a piece cut out of a spherical surface. Two types of spherical mirrors are; Concave mirror: Its inner concave surface reflects, and has polished outer surface. Convex mirror: Its outer convex surface reflects, and has polished inner surface. … Continue reading “To find the focal length of the given concave mirror by”
