    This document describes an experiment to determine the reduction factor of a Helmholtz tangent galvanometer using a potentiometer. The current flowing through the galvanometer is measured using a potentiometer and is proportional to the tangent of the angle of deflection. Measurements of balancing length on the potentiometer and deflection angles in the galvanometer are taken for known resistances. These values are used to calculate the reduction factor K using the given formula. Finally, the magnetic field strength BH of the galvanometer is calculated using the determined reduction factor.

    BH USING HELMOLTZ GALVANOMETER

    AIM: To determine the reduction factor of the Helmoltz tangent Galvanometer using
    potentiometer.

    APPARATUS: Helmoltz tangent galvanometer,battery,eliminator,Daniel cell,Rheostat, a


    potentiometer.

    PRINCIPLE: The currentflowing through a helmoltz galvanometer is directly proportional to the


    tangent of the angle of the deflection .The currentis measured using a potentiometer,the
    principle being that the p.d is directly proportional to the balancing length of measuring the
    deflection for known current reduction factor is calculated using the formula,

    K=I/tan A

    I =1.08/R *l2/l1 A

    Where, k=reduction factor

    R=standard resistance

    I=current

    =deflection in HTG

    L1 is balancing length in Daniel cell

    L2 is balancing length for p.d across resistance

    FORMULA:

    BH=80nk/55r T

    Where , 0 =permittivity of free space

    N=number of turns in the coil

    K=reduction factor

    r=radius of HTG coil

    PROCEDURE: The circuit connections are made as shown in fig. The balancing lenth is
    determined for the Daniel cell when the galvanometer shows 0 deflection without alternating
    the primary current.The secondary circuit is made as shown in fig1.
    PRELIMINARY ADJUSTMENTSOF HTG:

    I. The base of HTG is made perfectly horizontal and hence the plane of the coil vertically
    by adjusting the living screw by using spirit levels.
    II. The plane of the coil is kept parallel to the magnetic meridian.
    III. The compass box done is gently turned till the ends of the admission pointer reads zero.

    Keeping the R=1,the rheostat in the secondary circuit is adjusted to get a


    deflection of about 30 in the HTG the delection 1 and2 in HTG at two ends of the alluminium
    pointer is noted the balancing length l1 is measured. Current is reversed using the commutator
    and deflection 3 and4 are noted,the balancing length is again determined.The mean value of
    deflection is calculated.The Reduction factor k is calculated by using the formula

    BH=80nk/55r T

    Where , 0 =permittivity of free space

    N=number of turns in the coil

    K=reduction factor

    r=radius of HTG coil

    OBSERVATION:

    1. Length of the potentiometer which balances the emf of the Daniel cell , L=
    m
    2. The value of standard resistance R=
    3. The radius of HTG r=c/2=
    4. The number of turns of the coil ,n=

    TABULAR COLUMN:

    T NO Balancing Deflection in Tg mean tan K=1.08*l/4Rtan


    length
    Result:

    The reduction factor of HTG k is A

    The BH of HTG is T
