To find the focal length of the given concave mirror by

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”

To measure the internal resistance of a given primary cell using potentiometer.

To measure the internal resistance of a given primary cell using potentiometer.

The Potentiometer-Internal resistance of a cell: Theory Potentiometer Potentiometer is a device used to measure the internal resistance of a cell, to compare the e.m.f. of two cells and potential difference across a resistor. It consists of a long wire of uniform cross sectional area and of 10 m in length. The material of wire … Continue reading “To measure the internal resistance of a given primary cell using potentiometer.”

Young’s modulus Experiment

Young’s modulus Experiment

Young’s modulus Experiment Our Objective Our aim is to determine the Young’s modulus of elasticity of the material of a given wire using Searle’s apparatus. The Theory Before we move ahead, do you know what a Searle’s apparatus is? Searle’s apparatus consists of two metal frames F1 and F2. Each frame has a torsion head … Continue reading “Young’s modulus Experiment”
