The document discusses a physics project on self-inductance. It describes how self-inductance depends on properties of the coil like number of turns, geometry, and core material. The experiment aims to study how self-inductance is affected by inserting an iron core and changing frequency. The results show current and brightness decrease with the core and increase at lower frequencies.

project. Without her supervision, this project
couldn't have attained its present form.
The kind support of our lab assistant has also played
a significant role in the success of this project.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank
my parents for extending their support and their
constant encouragement for this task.
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS SELF-INDUCTANCE?
 When an electric current is passed through an isolated
conducting coil, it gives rise to a magnetic field in the coil,
so that the coil itself behaves likes a magnet.
 The magnetic field produced by the current in the coil is
linked with coil itself
Certificate
 As the strength of current in coil is changed, the flux linked
with coil also changes. Under such circumstances an emf is
induced in the coil too. Such emf is called self-induced emf
This is to
andcertify that ___________
this phenomenon bearing the roll number
is called self-induction.
_________ of class ________ has successfully completed his
Physics project work on the topic ____________ under the
guidance of _____________ (Physics Faculty) during the
session 2022-23 in partial fulfillment of the requirement of
the Physics practical curriculum in AISSCE.

AIM
To study the factor on which the self-inductance of a coil
depends by observing the effect of this coil, when put in
series with a resistor/(bulb) in a circuit fed up by an A.C.
source of adjustable frequency.

APPARATUS
A coil of large turns, a.c. source of adjustable frequency,
an electric bulb, (6V) a.c. ammeter of suitable range
rheostat, a soft iron rod, one way key, connecting wires,
etc

THEORY
Self-inductance is the property of coil which opposes the
change in current through it. The self inductance of a coil
(long solenoid) is:

  L= μr μ0 n2 A/l
Where µr, = Relative magnetic permeability of magnetic
material,
µr = µ/ µ0
N = Total number of turns in solenoid
A = Area of cross-section of solenoid
l= length of solenoid.

Hence, the self inductance depends upon:


1. No. of turns (N), Lα N²
2. Geometry of coil, Lα A, L α (1/l)
3. Nature of core material, Lα µ
When an inductor is connected in series with a resistor
(bulb) with a variable source of frequency, then current
flowing in the bulb is Irms = Erms/Z Where, Z = √R 2 + ω 2
= Impedance of the a.c. circuit.
Here R = Resistance of the bulb
L = Self inductance of coil
ω = 2πf = Angular frequency of a.c. source.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
PROCEDURE
1. Make all connections as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Switch on the a.c. supply & adjust the current in the
circuit by using the variable resistor (Rh).
3. Record the current in a.c. ammeter & see the
brightness of bulb.
4. Now, put the soft iron rod inside the conductor core &
record the current in a.c. ammeter & again check the
brightness of bulb. The current & brightness both
decreases.
5. Now, switch off the supply & decrease the frequency
of a.c. source (say 50 Hz).
6. Again switch on the supply & adjust the current in
circuit at same constant voltage 6 V by using the
rheostat. Note the current in ammeter & brightness of
bulb. The current & brightness both will increase.
7. Again insert the iron rod in the core of coil & note the
current & brightness. The current & brightness both
decreases.
8. Repeat the steps 5, 6 and 7 for different frequency of
a.c. source.

OBSERVATION
1. Least count of ammeter = 0.05 A.
2. Zero error of ammeter = 0 A.
3. Range of ammeter = 0 – 5 A

OBSERVATION TABLE
S.NO. FREQUENCY OF CURRENT IN CURRENT IN
APPLIED VOLTAGE AMMETER WITHOUT AMMETER WITH
(HZ) IRON ROD IN COIL (A) IRON ROD IN COIL
(A)
1 60 2 1.8
2 50 2.5 2.3
3 40 2.9 2.6
4 30 3.4 3.25
5 20 4.1 4

RESULT
1. The current in the circuit decrease on inserting the
iron rod in the core of coil at constant frequency of
applied voltage &brightness of bulb decreases & vice-
versa.
2. The current in the circuit increases on decreasing the
frequency of applied voltage & vice-versa. Therefore, the
brightness of bulb increases

PRECAUTIONS
1. The coil should have large number of turns.
2. Current should be passed for a small time to avoid the
heating effect.

SOURCES OF ERRORS
1. The resistance of circuit may increases lightly due to
heating effect of current.
2. There may be eddy current in soft iron coil.
