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 (current through the
inductor’s wire coil.
• COIL AREA.
• COIL LENGTH.
• CORE MATERIAL.
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 Required
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).

Observations
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.
Precautions
• 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.
