PROJECT TITLE: Investigating Factors Affecting Self-Inductance in an AC Circuit

OBJECTIVE :Explore and analyze the factors influencing the self-inductance of a coil by observing its
behavior in series with a resistor or bulb in an AC circuit with an adjustable frequency source.

COMPONENTS:

1. Coil

2. Resistor/Bulb

3. AC power source with adjustable frequency

4. Multimeter

5. Breadboard and connecting wires

6. Data logging equipment (optional)

PROCEDURE:

1. Set up a circuit with the coil in series with a resistor or bulb.

2. Connect the circuit to the AC power source with adjustable frequency.

3. Gradually vary the frequency of the AC source and observe the impact on the coil's behavior.

4. Measure the current, voltage, and any other relevant parameters using a multimeter or data logging
equipment.

5. Repeat the experiment with different values of resistance in the circuit.

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS:

1. Record observations for different frequencies and resistance values.

2. Analyze the relationship between frequency, resistance, and the coil's behavior.

3. Plot graphs to visualize the trends and draw conclusions about the factors affecting self-inductance.

REPORT:
Prepare a comprehensive report summarizing the experiment, including:

- Introduction and background on self-inductance.

- Experimental setup and procedure.

- Data collected and observations made.

- Analysis of results with graphs and explanations.

- Conclusion and insights into the factors influencing self-inductance.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:

- Discuss any unexpected findings or challenges faced during the experiment.

- Include recommendations for further research or improvements to the experiment setup.

This project allows for a hands-on exploration of self-inductance in a circuit and provides valuable
insights into the impact of frequency and resistance on coil behavior.
