Activities

The document describes three activities related to electrical circuits: 1. The first activity involves assembling electrical circuit components like resistors, a battery, and voltmeter/ammeter in series and parallel configurations to measure current and potential difference. 2. The second activity involves identifying incorrectly connected components in a sample open circuit diagram, correcting the connections, and redrawing the correct circuit diagram. 3. The third activity involves identifying specific electrical components - a diode, LED, resistor, and capacitor - from a mixed collection by observing their current flow characteristics.

1. Connect the components (resistors, rheostat 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.

key, ammeter and voltmeter. Mark the components that are not connected in proper order
and correct the circuit and also the circuit diagram.

Apparatus

Procedure

Identify the components that are not connected in proper order.


Ammeter should be connected in series, with the battery eliminator.
Voltmeter should be connected in parallel to the resistor.
Rheostat should be connected in series with the battery eliminator.
Voltmeter should be connected in parallel.
Key should be connected in series to the battery eliminator.
Rearrange the circuit components in accordance with the correct circuit.

Wrong Circuit

Correct Circuit
Conclusion

Identified the components which are not connected in proper order and the circuit is
corrected.

Activity 3

Aim

To identify a diode, an LED, a resistor and a capacitor from a mixed collection of such
items.

Apparatus

A mixed collection of a diode, an LED, a resistor and a capacitor

Theory

Resistor is a two terminal device which shows a constant current when connected in a
d.c. circuit.

Capacitor when connected in a d.c. source shows a current initially which decay to zero
very quickly.

Diode shows unidirectional flow of current. It conducts current when it is forward biased
and when it is connected in reverse bias it would not conduct.

LED (light emitting diode) is also a two terminal device. It also conducts when forward
biased and does not conduct when reverse biased. It emits light while conducting. Hence,
it glow.

Sl. No Possible current flow Device

1. Both directions (Steady) Resistor

2. Initially high but decays to zero Capacitor

3. Unidirectional emits no light Diode

4. Unidirectional emits light LED


Conclusion

Diode, LED, resistor and capacitor is identified from a mixed collection of such items.
