    The document describes an experiment to determine the resistance of a galvanometer using the half deflection method. A Weston galvanometer, high and low resistance boxes, dry cell, and connecting wires are used. The resistance of the galvanometer (G) is calculated using the known resistance (R) from the high resistance box, the shunt resistance (S) from the low resistance box, and the full and half scale deflections measured. The resistance is calculated for several trials and the mean and percentage error are determined.

    EXPERIMENT
    OBJECT:-
    To determine the resistance of given galvanometer by half deflection method.

    APPARATUS:-
    Weston galvanometer, High resistance box, Low resistance box, Dry cell, Plug keys,
    Connecting Wires.

    WORKING FORMULA:-

    Resistance “G” of a galvanometer = G =


    Where, R = Known Resistance in high resistance box
    S = Shunt resistance from low resistance box

    OBSERVATION :-
    S.No Resistance Full scale Half scale Shunt G= Mean G
    R (Ω) deflection deflection θ/2 resistance Ω

    CALCULATION
    1) G1 = = --------- Ω 2) G2 = = --------- Ω
    3) G3 = = --------- Ω 4) G4 = = --------- Ω
    5) G5 = = --------- Ω 6) G6 = = --------- Ω

    Percentage Error = x 100

    RESULT :- The resistance of galvanometer by calculation is G = -----------Ω


    Percentage Error = -----------%
