APPARATUS Parallelogram apparatus, slotted weights, drawing pin, mirror piece, given body. THEORY Parallelogram law of vectors: if two forces acting at a point are represented by the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then diagonal starting from the common point represents their resultant.

If the forces P, Q and the unknown force W are in equilibrium then Weight of the body W = OC X Scale factor

OC –Diagonal of the parallelogram with P and Q as adjacent sides

𝑊𝐴= Weight of body in air 𝑊𝑊=Weight of body in water

PROCEDURE A sheet of paper is fixed on the board using drawing pins. Weights P = 150gm and Q=150gm are tied at the ends of two strings each passing over a pulley. The other end of the strings is connected together and from this common point, the unknown mass is suspended.

The directions of the three forces and the common knot are marked on the sheet of paper by putting dot marks. By taking suitable scale, OA and OB are marked on the paper and parallelogram is completed. From the length of diagonal OC, weight of the body is found. Now the experiment is repeated by taking P=200gm and Q=200gm. Mean weight 𝑊𝐴 is calculated

The same procedure is repeated by immersing the body in water. Thus mean weight 𝑊𝑊 is calculated. Now relative density can be found out by using equation

ℓ = 50, 60, 90, 100. In each case ℓ

𝑇2 is calculated. Then mean value of

L C of screw gauge is 0.01 mm

Pitch of the screw gauge is the distance through which tip of the screw advances for one complete rotation of the head scale The measured value using screw gauge is given by

Total reading = PSR + (Corrected HSR x LC) PSR =Pitch scale reading (observed reading on the pitch scale) HSR =Head scale reading (the division on head scale where reference line coincides)

Zero Error -If zero of head scale coincides with reference line, then there is no zero error. If zero on head scale is above the reference line, zero correction is positive, and if zero is below the reference line, zero correction is negative

If zero of head scale coincides with reference line, then there is no zero error. If zero on head scale is above the reference line, zero correction is positive, and if zero is below the reference line, zero correction is negative.

Now the jockey is pressed at the ends A and B of the potentiometer and rheostat is adjusted

so that deflections at the ends A and b are opposite. Keeping the key K2 open balancing

length ℓ1 is determined. Now 5 ohm resistance is introduced in the resistance box and the

key K2 is pressed. Hence the balancing length ℓ2 of closed circuit is determined. Using the

is determined

RESULT

ZENER DIODE AIM To draw V-I graph APPARATUS Zener diode, voltmeter, milli ammeter, rheostat, key, battery, connecting wire. THEORY A junction diode specially designed to work only in one reverse breakdown voltage is called zener diode. In reverse bias, the potential barrier is large. Due to that reverse current through the diode is almost zero. On increasing the reverse voltage to a certain value, current increases suddenly. This voltage is called zener voltage. PROCEDURE Connections are made as shown in the figure. Using rheostat the voltage across diode is made at 0.1V and corresponding current is noted. The voltage is increased as 0.2 , 0.3 , 0.4 , 0.5...... and in each time milliammeter reading is taken. A graph is plotted with voltage along X axis and current along –ve Y axis RESULT The V-I graph is plotted.

PROCEDURE Connections are made as shown in figure. The unknown resistance is connected in the left gap and resistance box is introduced in the right gap. The key is closed and a suitable resistance R = 1 ohm is introduced in the box. The jockey is moved over the meter bridge wire till null deflection is obtained. The balancing length AJ = 𝑙1 is measured from the side of unknown resistance. Now X and R are interchanged and balancing length BJ = 𝑙2 is measured. The mean balancing length is obtained. Thus unknown resistance is calculated. The experiments are repeated for different values of R and mean X is calculated. Radius is determined by using a screw gauge and length by a scale. Then resistivity is calculated. RESULT 1. The resistance of the given wire, X = ............... ohm 2. The resistivity of the material wire, ρ = ........ ohm meter
