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

µ0 µ𝑟 𝑁2 𝐴
L= 𝑙

where µ𝑟 = Relative magnetic permeability of

magnetic material,
µ
µ𝑟 =
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) , 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

𝐼𝑟𝑚𝑠 𝐸𝑟𝑚𝑠
= 𝑍

Where Z = √𝑅2 + 𝜔2𝐿2 = 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.

The brightness of bulb i.e., Heat generated in
the bulb is
2
H= 𝐼𝑟𝑚𝑠
𝐻
P= 2
𝑡 = 𝐼𝑟𝑚𝑠

P = 𝐼𝑟𝑚
2
√𝑅2 + 𝜔2𝐿2

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.
S.NO Frequency Current in Current in
of applied ammeter ammeter with
voltage without iron iron rod in
(Hz) rod in coil (A) 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 increase
slightly due to heating effect of current.

2. There may be eddy current in soft iron

coil.
