CBSE CLASS 10 PHYSICS PRACTICAL       CHAPTER - 12  'ELECTRICITY'   (Experiment to Verify Ohm's Law)  ************************************ Dependence of Potential Difference Across a Resistor on the Current  Passing through it and determine its resistance.  Studying the dependence of potential difference (V) across a resistor on the current (I) passing through it and determine its resistance. Also plotting a graph between V and I Potential difference is defined as the work done to move a unit charge from one point to the other. The SI unit of potential difference is volt. Electromotive force is defined as the electric potential produced by either an electrochemical cell or by changing the magnetic field. Below is an experiment to study the dependence of the potential difference across a resistor with current-carrying I.

Determination of Focal Length of Concave Mirror and Convex Lens Before getting started with the experiment, it is important to understand a few terms that are used in a concave mirror and convex lens: Centre of curvature: For a curved mirror, the centre of curvature, C can be defined as the centre of a hollow glass sphere of which a curved mirror is a part. Radius of curvature: For a curved mirror, the radius of curvature, R can be defined as the radius of the hollow glass sphere of a spherical mirror is part. Principal axis: Principal axis is defined as the imaginary line passing through the pole and centre of curvature of the spherical mirror. Principal focus: Principal focus is defined as a point at which the reflected rays meet or appear to meet for the spherical mirror.  For a concave mirror, the principal focus is in the front and  For a convex mirror, the principal focus is at the behind. Below is an experiment to determine the focal length of a concave mirror a
