Experiment # 5
Determining the high resistance using Neon Flash Lamp and a Capacitor
Apparatus: Resistor of unknown resistance, Diode, Power Supply, Neon Flash Lamp apparatus, Stop watch, Connecting Wires.
 |
| Circuit Diagram: Neon Flash Lamp, Capacitor, Diode, Resistor |
Formula for finding the time period of a capacitor:
Time Period = (Time for 20 flashes) / 20
T = t / 20
Procedure:
- First of all I set the resistance at 1 MΩ.
- Switched on the power supply and record the average time for 20 flashes.
- Repeat the time recording process to get multiple values.
- Plot a graph between “R” and “T”.
