This document describes a physics experiment to study the factors that affect the self-inductance of a coil. The experiment involves connecting a coil in series with a resistor and variable frequency AC source. It discusses the aim, apparatus, theory, procedure, observations, and results which show that self-inductance depends on number of turns, geometry of coil, core material, and frequency of the AC source.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our principal and


our Vice-Principal for helping us in providing all the equipment’s for
the project work and for moral support. And also to my Physics
Teacher for giving us the wonderful opportunity to do a case study. I
am also grateful to him providing vital support, guidance and
encouragement throughout the project. Without his motivation and
help, the successful completion of this project would not be possible.
Secondly I would also like to thank my friends who helped me a lot in
finishing this project within the limited time frame.

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 electrical 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 a coil, which opposes the change in current
through it. The self-inductance of a coil (long solenoid) is

𝝁𝒐 𝝁𝒓 𝑵𝟐 𝑨
L=

Where = Relative magnetic permeability of magnetic material,


𝝁
𝝁𝒓 =𝝁
𝒐

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) , L α N²


𝟏
2. Geometry of coil, L α A, L α
𝒍
3. Nature of core material, L α 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

Here

R = Resistance of the bulb

L = Self inductance of coil

= 2πf = Angular frequency of a.c. source.

The brightness of bulb i.e., Heat generated in the bulb is


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 6V 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.

OBSERVATIONS:-

1. Least count of ammeter = 0.05 A.


2. Zero error of ammeter = 0 A.
3. Range of ammeter = 0 – 5 A.

2. 50 2.5 2.3
3. 40 2.9 2.6
4. 30 3.4 3.25
5. 20 4.1 4
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 increase slightly due to heating effect
of current.
2. There may be eddy current in soft iron coil.

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.
