Physics Activity 2
Physics Activity 2
THEORY :-
An electrical circuit is functional only if all the components
of the circuit are connected in proper order, assuming that
all circuit components/devices are in working condition
and key is closed.
An open circuit means a break in some part of a circuit
which could be deliberate such as a key in open position or
a fault such as broken wire or burnt out component(s) or
loose connection.
PROCEDURE :-
1. Drew the circuit diagrams in my notebook as given by
my teacher as shown in the figures.
OBSERVATIONS :-
1. Ammeter and voltmeter are not connected properly as
clearly seen in the circuit diagram of Fig.6.1.
2. When ammeter and voltmeter are connected in
proper order they show reading when circuit is closed.
RESULT :-
1. Circuit diagram shown in Fig.6.2 is not proper in which
voltmeter and ammeter are wrongly connected.
2. Circuit diagram shown in Fig.6.3 is proper and
correct.
PRECAUTIONS :-
1. All connections should be neat, clean and tight.
2. The insulated wires are to be used for connections.
3. A given circuit should not be checked by inserting plug
into the key. This may damage any component of the
circuit.
