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.

INTRODUCTION:-
There are four basic factors of inductor
construction determining the amount of
inductance created. These factors all
indicate inductance by affecting how much
magnetic field flux will develop for a given
amount of magnetic field force .
The factors are:-
• NUMBER OF WIRE WRAPS, OR “TURNS” IN

THE COIL.

• COIL AREA.
• COIL LENGTH.

• CORE MATERIAL.
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
L =μ0μr N2 A

Hence, the Self Inductance depends

upon
• No. of turns (N), L α N2
• Geometry of coil, L=A , L α 1/l
Nature of core material, L= 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
I rms=E rms
Where Z= (R2 + ω2L2)½=Impedance of the
A.C. Circuit .
R= Resistance of bulb
L= Self Inductance of coil ω =
2πf = Angular frequency of A.C.
source.
The brightness of bulb i.e. Heat
generated in bulb is
H= I2rmsZt
The brightness of bulb i.e. Heat
generated in bulb is
H= I2rmsZt Or,

P=H/t= I2rmsZ P=

I2rms(R2 +

ω2L2)½
Circuit Diagram
 PROCEDURE
▪ Make all connections as shown in
circuit diagram.
▪ Switch on the A.C. supply and
adjust the constant current in the
circuit by using the variable resistor
(R1) (let frequency of source is 60 Hz
and voltage is 6V).

▪ Record the current in A.C.

ammeter and see the brightness of
bulb.
▪ Now, put the soft iron rod inside
the inductor core and record the
current in A.C. ammeter and again
 check the brightness of bulb. The
current and brightness both
decreases.
▪ Now, switch off the supply and
decrease the frequency of A.C. source
(say 50 Hz).
▪ Again switch on the supply and
adjust the current in circuit at same
constant voltage 6V by using the
rheostat. Note the current in
ammeter and brightness of bulb. The
current and brightness both will
increases
▪ Again insert the iron in the core of
coil and note the current and
 brightness. The current and
brightness both decreases .

▪ Repeat the steps 5, 6 and 7 for

different frequency of A.C.
source (say 40 Hz,30 Hz and 20 Hz).

▪ Least Count Error= 0 A.

▪ Zero error of ammeter =0 A. ▪
Range of ammeter = 0-5 A.

RESULT
• The current in the circuit decrease on
inserting the iron rod in the core of
coil at constant frequency of applied
voltage and brightness of bulb
decreases and vice-versa.
• The current in the circuit increases on
decreasing the frequency of applied
voltage and vice-versa. Therefore, the
brightness of bulb increases.
 PRECAUTION
• The coil should have large number
of turns.
• Current should be passed for a small
time to avoid the heating
effect.
• There should not be parallax in
taking the reading of ammeter
.

SOURCES OF ERROR
• The resistance of circuit may
increases slightly due to heating
effect of current.
• There may be eddy current in soft
iron coil.
