At first, an object is placed at an object distance, u = 20.0 cm. The bulb lights up. The
screen is adjusted until a sharp image is formed.
The step is repeated using u = 25.0 cm, 30.0 cm, 35.0 cm and 40.0 cm. The image
distance, v is determined by reading directly from the metre rule as shown in Diagram
1.2.

DIAGRAM 1.1

The position of the sliding contact is adjusted until the length of the wire in the circuit is,
L = 20.0 cm. The rheostat is adjusted to obtain a suitable current. The current, I and the
potential difference, V across the wire are measured by an ammeter and voltmeter
respectively. Diagram 1.2 shows the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter.
The procedure is repeated for lengths of the wire, L = 30.0 cm, 40.0 cm, 50.0 cm and
60.0 cm. The corresponding readings of the ammeter and voltmeterVare shown in
Diagrams 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.
