/aarwviny 6 am to draw the diagram of given open circuit comprising of at least a battery, resistor/theostat, key, ammeter and ‘voltmeter)Mark the components that are not connected in proper order and correct the circuit and also the circuit diagram. YOUNEED 1, A voltmeter and an ammeter of appropriate range 2. A battery eliminator Ammeter cell of range 0 to 6 volt 3. A dry cell 4. Two one-way keys 5. A rheostat. THEORY ‘Acell is said to be in an open circuit when no current is drawn from it. The circuit diagram of a cell in an open circuit is shown in the Fig. 8 and the components are connected as shown in the diagram (Fig. 8). HOW-TO DO 1, Make the circuit diagram as shown in Fig. 8 and connect all the given components as shown in the Fig. 8 keeping the keys K, and K, open. 2, Make sure that the cell is connected in parallel with the rheostat . and it is connected in series with the resistance box, milliammeter Fig. 8 Open circuit diagram using given and the voltmeter is connected in parallel with the resistance box. Cad Also connect the battery, rheostat and key K, according to the circuit diagram. 3, Take out some resistance (say 5 ohm) from the resistance box, keeping key K, open and insert the plug in key K,, now note the reading of ammeter and voltmeter. 4, Adjust the battery eliminator at 4 volt and insert the plug in key K, and slowly shift the rheostat from left to right and observe the milliammeter reading. 5. Stop the sliding of rheostat when the milliammeter shows zero reading. 6. As no current is drawn from the cell as it gives zero reading, the cell is set for open cireuit. SONCLUSION When ammeter shows zero reading, hence, cell is said to be in open circuit. STAKE.CARE 1. Ammeter should be connected in series while voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the circuit. 2. Cell should be connected in parallel with the rheostat. 3. Voltmeter and ammeter of proper range should be used.
