Precaurons
1. The positive terminal of the battery should be connected to the
positive terminal ofammeter and positive terminal of the voltmeter,
2. ‘The ammeter should be connected in series with the resistor and,
the voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the resistor.
3. Sand paper should be used to clean the ends of connecting wires
‘and leads of the component terminals. Grease/oll o oxide layeron their surfaces is insulating in nature and needs to be removed.
However, do not clean the plugs and keys with sand paper.
Excessive use of sand paper in such a case will make the plug
unfit to be used with the key.
Discussion

connecting apparatus and keep infront of you.

‘An clectrical circult is functional only if all the components of the
circuit are connected in proper order, assuming that all circuit
‘components/devices are in working condition and key is closed.
An open circult means a break in some part of a circuit which could
be deliberate such asa key in open position or a fault such as broken
wire or burt out component(s) or loose connection, Some of such
ctreuits are given in Figs. A 2.1 (a), (b). (c) and (d)..

Proceoure
1. Draw the circuit diagrams in your notebook as given by your
teacher [Fig. A 2.1(a),(b), (c) and (d)].
2. Consider one circuit and mark in Table A 2.1, the various
‘components which have not been connected tn proper order.
3. Draw the correct cireuit diagram.
4 Connect the electrical components according to corrected circuit
diagram.
5. Close the key in the cireuit to verify if the corrected circuit is
functional.
‘Note:Rheostat can be used both as a variable resistance and potential
divider.

Precautions
1. Ends of the connecting wires should be cleaned with sand paper
before making connections.
2. The positive terminal of the battery should be connected to the
positive terminal of the voltmeter and positive terminal of the
ammeter.
3. The ammeter should be connected in series with the resistor and
the voltmeter should be connected in parallel with it.
Discussion
1. (a) Rheostat can be used in series as a variable resistance. In
this case, the end terminal (1) and the other variable terminal
is to be used [Fig. A 2.2(a)].
(>) When rheostat has to be used as a potential divider across
the cell, the variable voltage is derived using any one end-
terminal and the variable terminal of the rheostat [Fig. A
2.2(b)]
Justify how the discussion points 1(a) and 1(b) are possible?
2. Key is to be kept “OPEN” so that no damage to the components
occur.Aw

Precautions
1. Care should be taken while working with mains.
2. Carefully determine the rating of the fuse by calculating the
‘maximum current drawn by the circutt,
Dacussion
1. Fuse is a safety device. Never use fuse of much higher rating
than the recommended value
2. The rating the main electricity in our houses is determined by the
total power requirements. In general it ts 220 V. 30 A and
‘50. The supply is connected to a distribution board which divides
the power into different cireuits: some having a rating of 220 V,
15 A meant for heavy duty appliances like room heater,
airconditioner, geysers. hot plates et. others havea rating of 220
V. 5A meant for light appliances lke light bulbs, ceiling fans et.
Let us consider one electrical circuit with 220 V, 5 A supply. In
sucha circuit all appliances are connected in parallel with a switch,
