GR 12 Practical Activity Term 1 202223

The document describes three activities involving using a multimeter to measure electrical properties: 1. Measuring resistance, voltage (AC/DC), and continuity using a multimeter on sample circuits. 2. Assembling components like resistors, inductors, a battery, ammeter, and voltmeter in a circuit to measure current and voltage. 3. Drawing and correcting the diagram of a circuit containing a battery, rheostat, key, ammeter, and voltmeter by properly connecting the components.

Activity 1

Aim
To measure resistance, voltage (AC/DC), current (AC) and check continuity of a given circuit using multimeter.
Apparatus Required
Multimeter, a standard circuit of ohm’s law or meter bridge or potentiometer.
Procedure
To measure resistance
1. Plug in the probes of the multimeter in appropriate terminals. Select the appropriate range, short the other ends of
probes and adjust zero. Turn the terminal marked ‘Adjust’ such that the needle of the meter shows full scale
deflection and reads zero ohm.
2. Separate the metallic ends of the probes. Insert the resistor R 1 to be measured in between the metallic ends of the
two probes and read the deflection of the pointer on the range selected.
To measure D.C. Voltage

1. Select a D.C. source of potential difference, 6 V battery eliminator or a battery.


2. Plug the probes black in com and red in +.
3. Select D.C. volt, by turning the selector switch to range 10 V D.C. volts,
4. Touch and press other ends of probes such that red is on battery terminal marked + and black on and not the
reading.
To measure D.C. Voltage
1. Turn the selector A.C. (200 Volt).
2. Rest of procedure same as above.
To measure Continuity of given circuit
1. Set the selector switch to ohm, range MΩ.
2. Touch and press the ends of probes at A and B, full scale deflection indicates continuity.
3. Similarly check in succession the continuity between terminals B and C and terminals C and D.
Never place the probes ends between terminals connected with the terminals of the battery.
In digital electronic multimeter for continuity test rotor is set to mark 0 and a buzzer , sounds when probes are
connected to ends of components tested.
Result
The measured values by multimeter match with decoded values of resistors.
A.C. and D.C. voltages marked on voltage sources match with voltage measured by multimeter.

Activity 2
Aim
To assemble the components of a given electrical circuit.
Apparatus Required
A voltmeter and an ammeter of appropriate range, a battery, a rheostat, one way key, an unknown resistance or resistance
coil, connecting wires, a piece of sand paper.

Procedure
1. Connect the components (Resistors, inductors etc.) in series with each other as shown in diagram and then in series
with the battery.
2. Connect the ammeter in series with the circuit, to measure the current.
3. Connect the voltmeter in parallel to the resistor, to measure the potential difference.
4. Connect the switch in series with the battery.
5. Assembly of the electrical components in electric circuit is complete.
Result
components of a given electrical circuit are assembled.
Activity 3
Aim
To draw the diagram of a given open circuit comprising at least a battery, resistor/rheostat, key, ammeter and voltmeter.
Mark the components that are not connected in proper order and correct the circuit and also the circuit diagram.
Apparatus and material
A battery eliminator or a battery (0 to 6 V), rheostat, resistance box (0 to 100 £2), two- or one-way key. D.C. ammeter (0-
3) A and a D.C. voltmeter (0-3) V.
Corrected circuit diagram
Procedure
Ammeter: It should be connected in series, with the battery eliminator.
Voltmeter: It should be connected in parallel to the resistor.
Rheostat: It should be connected in series (in place of resistance coil) with the battery eliminator.
Resistance coil: It should be connected in parallel (in place of rheostat).
One way key: It should be connected in series to the battery eliminator.

Result
The correct circuit diagram is drawn and components are connected.
