(a) (b) (c)

Inference : potential difference affects current Hypothesis : If potential difference increases, current increases. (i) Aim : to study the relationship between potential difference and current (ii) variables : - manipulated variable responding variable fixed variable

: potential difference : current : length of wire

(iii) List of apparatus and materials : 50 cm constantant wire ( s.w.g 24), connecting wires, ammeter, voltmeter, battery holder, three 1.5 v cells, rheostat, switch. (iv) Arrangement of the apparatus :

batteries

switch

A rheostat Constantan wire

(v) Procedure of the experiment: - Method of controlling the manipulated variable: (i) Set up circuit as in diagram (ii) Turn on switch and adjust rheostat until potential difference as shown in voltmeter, v = 0.2 v. -Method of measuring responding variable. (i) Record the current shown in ammeter, I - Repeatition. - Repeat the experiment using potential difference , v = 0.3 v, 0.4v, 0.5v, 0.6 v (vi) Table of data :

v//v 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6
