Materials Required
A white sheet, soft board, thumb pins, 4-6 all pins, prism, pencil, scale,
protractor, drawing board.
Procedure
Result
The incident ray first bends towards the normal when it gets refracted in the prism
and while leaving the prism it bends away fromthe normal.

Ohm’s Law
Aim
To study the dependence of potential difference (V) across a resistor on the current
(I) passing through it and determine its resistance. Also, plot a graph between V and
I.
Materials Required
A battery, insulated copper wire, key, ammeter, voltmeter, rheostat, resistor,
piece of sandpaper
Formula
According to the Ohm’s law, the potential difference (V) across the ends of a
resistor is directly proportional to the current (I) through it provided its
temperature remains the same.
That is V 𝖺 I
V = RI. Here R is a constant for the given resistor at a given temperature and is
called its resistance. The SI unit of resistance is ohm (Ω)
Procedure
Result
With the help of the graph between V and I, Ohm’s law is verified as the plot
is a straight line.

Resistors in Series and Parallel
Experiment No 5
Aim
To determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors when connected in parallel.
Materials Required
A battery, insulated copper wire, key, ammeter, voltmeter, rheostat, resistor,
piece of sandpaper, two resistors.
Formula
The formula to calculate equivalent resistance in series is: R s= R1 + R2
The formula to calculate equivalent resistance in parallel is: 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2

Theoretical Value
R1 = 2 Ω, R2= 2 Ω
R s= R1 + R2 = 4 Ω
1/ Rp = 1/ R1 +1/ R2 = ½+ ½ = 1 Ω
Experimental values (from tabulation)
R1 = 2 Ω, R2= 2 Ω
