AIM: To measure the voltage, current and power in a single-phase circuit with Resistive
load.
APPARATUS USED:
THEORY:
VOLTAGE: Voltage, also called electromotive force, is a quantitative expression of the
potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field. . Voltage is
symbolized by an uppercase italic letter V or E. A moving iron type voltmeter connected in
parallel to the load gives the value of voltage in Volts
CURRENT: Current is a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons. The common
symbol for current is the uppercase letter I. The standard unit is the ampere, symbolized by
A. A moving iron type ammeter connected in series with the load gives the value of current.
POWER: Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred. Electric power is
usually produced by electric generators, but can also be supplied by sources such as electric
batteries. Electric power is measured by capacity and is commonly expressed in Watt,
Kilowatt (kW)megawatts (MW).The active or true power ( real power P= VI CosФ ) can be
measured directly by connecting an analog (current coil in series and voltage coil parallel to
load/digital type watt meter.
As per shown circuit diagram, we have used a rheostat as resistive load. An MI type ammeter
is connected in series with the rheostat to measure the current flowing through it. We have
selected the ammeter according to the load current. An MI type voltmeter is connected across
the load to measure the voltage across it. To measure the power drawn by the load we have
connected a wattmeter. We have selected the Wattmeter and Voltmeter as per supply voltage
and current rating of the load. In Wattmeter, the multiplying factor is given by,

TITLE: Measurement of Voltage, Current, Power and Power Factor in a R – L Series
Circuit.
AIM: To measure voltage, current, power and power factor in a R-L series circuit..
APPARATUS USED:
THEORY:
A circuit that contains a pure resistance R connected in series with a coil having pure
inductance of L is known as RL Series Circuit. When an AC supply voltage V is applied the
current, I flows in the circuit. I R and IL will be the current flowing in the resistor and inductor
respectively, but the amount of current flowing through both the elements will be same as
they are connected in series with each other. The circuit diagram of RL Series Circuit is
shown below Where,

V = √(𝑉𝑅 )2 + (𝑉𝐿 )2 = √(𝐼𝑅)2 + (𝐼𝑋𝐿 2 )
V = I √(𝑅)2 + (𝑋𝐿 )2
𝑉
Or, I = 𝑍
Z is the total opposition offered to the flow of alternating current by an RL Series circuit and
is called impedance of the circuit. It is measured in ohms (Ω). Phase Angle : In RL Series
Circuit the current lags the voltage by 90-degree angle known as phase angle. It is given by
the equation,
𝑉 𝐼𝑋𝐿 𝑋𝐿
tan φ = 𝑉𝐿 = =
𝑅 𝐼𝑅 𝑅
𝑋𝐿
Or, φ = tan-1 𝑅
equation:
Putting the value of v and i from the equation (1) and (2) in the equation (3) we will
get

The average power consumed in the circuit over one complete cycle is given by the equation
shown below:
The various points on the power curve are obtained by the product of voltage and current.
If you analyze the curve carefully, it is seen that the power is negative between angle 0 and ϕ
and between 180 degrees and (180 + ϕ) and during the rest of the cycle the power is positive.
The current lags the voltage and thus they are not in phase with each other.

TITLE: Determine the permeability of magnetic material by plotting it’s BH curve.
APPARATUS USED:
THEORY:
The rms voltage induced in a transformer is given by E = 4.44φ mfN (1)
where, φm is maximum value of the flux in the core, f is operating frequency and N is number
of turns in the coil.
where, Bm is the maximum flux density in core and Ac is the cross-sectional area of the core.
So we have E = 4.44BmAcfN (3)
The value of induced voltage E is thus dependent upon Bm which can be setup in the core.
We know from Biot-Savart’s law that a current carrying conductor produces magnetic field.
“Magnetic field strength” H is proportional to the current which produces the field. From
Ampere’s Circuital law, it can be proved that H is proportional to current I. If a current
carrying coil produces magnetic flux which traverses an average length of l in complete flux
path, then
Hl = NI (4)
B = µH (5)

Let us consider materials used in the laminations of transformers. They are called
ferromagnetic materials. A piece of ferromagnetic material is composed of several
“domains”. In each domain, magnetic moments of all atoms are aligned in one direction. In
general, the domains are randomly oriented. When external magnetic field H is applied to a
material, all the domains align in a particular direction, setting up “net flux” in the material.
Due to domain alignment B (i.e. the magnitude of B) increases. However, after a certain
value of B, the slope of B − H curve starts reducing as shown in Fig. 1; O − S1 represents the
linear region and S1 − S2 represents the “saturation region”.
S2
S1
Removing external magnetic field is equivalent to reducing H from H max to 0. Due to this, the
domains which were aligned in the direction of external field, “become free” of the external
magnetic force. However, now they do not attain completely random orientation as they had
at (B = 0, H = 0). Some domains maintain the direction of external magnetic field. This
results in remanent magnetic flux density Br. In short, while H traverses the trajectory 0 −
Hmax − 0; magnetic flux density B traverses 0 − Bmax − Br, as shown in Fig. 2. In order to
reduce flux density to zero we have to apply external magnetic field in the opposite direction
or on the negative H−axis. If external field is increased in the opposite direction, the
behaviour of magnetic material is seen analogous to that of the positive quadrant. Complete B
− H curve for is shown in Fig. 2. It is also called as “Hysteresis loop” traced by the flux
density in the material.

TITLE: Determination of Transformation Ratio of a Single Phase Transformer.
APPARATUS USED:
THEORY:
Transformer is a static electrical device, which transfer the electrical power from one circuit
to another circuit without changing its frequency. An ideal transformer is a theoretical linear
transformer that is lossless and perfectly coupled. Perfect coupling implies infinitely high
core magnetic permeability and winding inductance and zero net magneto motive force.
According to Faraday's law, since the same magnetic flux passes through both the primary
and secondary windings in an ideal transformer, a voltage is induced in each winding
proportional to its number of windings. The transformer winding voltage ratio is equal to the
winding turns ratio.
13
The level of voltage may be stepped up or down depending upon the number of turns on low
voltage side winding and high voltage side winding. If we connect the ac power supply with
low voltage side winding, then the winding is considered as Primary Side. And the remaining
winding, i.e. high voltage winding, from which we take power output, is considered as
Secondary Side.
And if we connect the ac power supply with high voltage side winding, then the winding is
considered as Primary Side. And the remaining winding, i.e. low voltage winding, from
which we take power output, is considered as Secondary Side.
So, there is a ratio, depending on which, the level of voltage is stepped up or down, that is
called, Transformation Ratio.
The transformation ratio is defined as the ratio of secondary voltage to primary voltage. The
transformation ratio is indicated as K.

Indeed, the transformer has made the long-distance transmission of electric power a practical
reality, as AC voltage can be “stepped up” and current “stepped down” for reduced wire
resistance power losses along power lines connecting generating stations with loads. At either
end (both the generator and at the loads), voltage levels are reduced by transformers for safer
operation and less expensive equipment.
A transformer that increases the voltage from primary to secondary (more secondary winding
turns than primary winding turns) is called a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer
designed to do just the opposite is called a step-down transformer.

use of variac. Then measure the value of primary and secondary voltage from the voltmeter.
After that, calculate Transformation Ratio.
4. Repeat the above mentioned process for the step up transformer to calculate the
Transformation Ratio.

TITLE: Measurement of no load and full load current of a Single Phase Transformer.
AIM: To measure the no load and full load current of a Single Phase Transformer.
APPARATUS USED:
THEORY:
1. No Load Test or Open – Circuit Test
The purpose of this test is to determine the shunt branches parameter of the equivalent circuit
of the transformer. This test is performed in LV side which is connected to rated supply
voltage at rated frequency and HV side is kept open as shown in fig. The exciting current
being about 2 to 6 % of full load current and the ohmic loss in the primary i.e. LV side varies
from 0.04 % to 0.36 % of full load ohmic loss. In view of this ohmic loss during open circuit
test is negligible in comparison with the core loss. Hence the wattmeter reading can taken as
equal to transformer core loss.

TITLE: Familiarization with multimeter to measure the value of given resistor and to confirm with
colour code
AIM
1. To learn Resistor Colour Code
2. To determine the stated value of a resistor by interpreting the colour code indicated on the resistor.
APPARATUS
1. Resistors
2. Multi meter.
THEORY
There are two ways to find the resistance value of a resistor i.e. by colour code and by multimeter. The
colour bands on the body of the resistor tell how much resistance it has. As shown in the following diagrams,
there are 5-band resistors and 4-band resistors. Form both 5- and 4-band resistors, the last band indicates
tolerance.
The first method for read resistor colours
View the resistors and based on the colour bands determine its value. Below is an example:
The first band is a one (1), the second band is a zero (0), and the multiplier band or third band is one time
text to the third power ( ) or one thousand (1000). Multiply 10 times 1000.
Another way to tell the resistance value of a resistor is to actually measure it with the ohmmeter. The
explanation of how to measure the resistance is given in the later tip.

TITLE: Realization of Truth Table of different Logic Gates.
AIM: To study and verify the Truth Tables of AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, EXOR logic gates.
THEORY: AND, AND, OR and NOT gates are basic gates. XOR and XNOR are universal gates.
Basically, logic gates are electronic circuits because they are made up of number of electronic devices and
components. Inputs and outputs of logic gates can occur only in two levels. These two levels are term HIGH
and LOW, or TRUE and FALSE, or ON AND off, OR SIMPLY 1 AND 0. A table which lists all possible
combinations of input variables and the corresponding outputs is called a „truth table‟. It shows how the
logic circuit’s output responds to various combinations of logic levels at the inputs.
.
The basic logic gates are the building blocks of more complex logic circuits. These logic gates perform the
basic Boolean functions, such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR, Inversion, Exclusive-OR, Exclusive-NOR. Fig.
below shows the circuit symbol, Boolean function, and truth. It is seen from the Fig that each gate has one
or two binary inputs, A and B, and one binary output, F. The small circle on the output of the circuit symbols
designates the logic complement. The AND, OR, NAND, and NOR gates can be extended to have more
than two inputs. A gate can be extended to have multiple inputs if the binary operation it represents is
commutative and associative.
