Analog Galvanometer Please read the lab manual and record the data you take by the experiment. Part A: Galvanometer Characteristics I g and r Maximum Voltage for max deflection of galvanometer needle: ܸ = ________________ Value of resistor h for half range deflection: ݄ = ݎ = ______________ Calculate ܫ from ܫ = ௄ା௥ = _____________ Part B: Making a Voltmeter Using a Galvanometer We can make a voltmeter using a galvanometer by adding a large resistor (called the multiplier resistor, M ) to it in series. Using the following equation, find the Multiplier resistance M that must be used to make a voltmeter having a full-scale deflection of ܸ = 3.00 V . ܯ = െ ݎ = Fill in the following table. For each value of the Power Supply Voltage ( ܸ ௉ௌ ) read the Voltage on the Galvanometer ( ܸ ) in the following way. Read the Galvanometer Needle Deflection (GND) and record your observation in the second column. Then compare that GND to the full deflection of the needle (500 divisions) and the corresponding voltage for the full deflection (3.00 V). Then make a proportionality relation ହ଴଴ . ଴଴ = ୋ୒ୈ and calculate the voltage shown on the Galvanometer ( ܸ ). Then find the % difference of the two readings ܸ ௉ௌ (V) GND ܸ (V) %Diff of ܸ ௉ௌ and ܸ 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 Part C: Ammeter We can make an ammeter using a galvanometer by adding a small shunt resistor ( s ) to it in parallel. Using the following equation, find the shunt resistance s that must be used to make an ammeter having a full-scale deflection of ܫ ؆ 3.00 A . ݏ = ݎܫ ܫ െ ܫ = Since this resistance is very small for that we use a copper wire available in the lab. The available copper wire has a resistance of 0.00053 ȳ /cm . Here, calculate the length of wire ( L ) to be used in this part as the shunt resistor. 4.9 240 ohms 0.00049 200 300 400 480 500 1.2 1. 8 2.4 20% 30% 40% 2.88 3 38% 0% Ryan Santos
