[@SundayAigbiremonlen]

According to the theory of the experiment as the length of the cable decreases the balance point increases. Maybe you need to check your connection.

[@vindalsacademy]

I will go to the laboratory to check again. Well thanks for the observation

[@lawrencedrella3861]

[@LawalAbdurrahmanOlatunde]

But it is said that as one slides the jockey over the potentiometer it reduces the cross-sectional area of the wire or what do u think

[@Oyinz356]

Sir should we cut off the remaining part of the wire that's not needed after tying? I asked because I wonder if it would affect the results of the experiment also I'm not sure if we'd have enough wire on the D day

[@vindalsacademy]

Yes just measure 100cm and work with it.

[@vindalsacademy]

After measuring 80, 70 don’t cut it. It won’t affect the reading

[@princegodwin2110]

Please Is there a constant value for the slope result?

[@user-uc2zc1tb6x]

Pls sir I need part 2 of this Video on plotting graph

[@BaronJay-cz9dg]

Which year in waec past question can i see a similar question to this?

[@abionamercy5306]

What is the Amp and ohm of the rheostat that should be used for the experiment sir?

[@vindalsacademy]

It was not specified by the exam body. But, I am suspecting that they may tell us to adjust the the rheostat to a certain value using ammeter. That is why they said and other necessary materials. That is my opinion

[@hi-scoreacademy4931]

Jisike nwanne! Lets build the nation together!

[@vindalsacademy]

Thank you so much sir

[@onyemachristopher4335]

What material is the first wire made of. Please what is the aim of the practical

[@ezechukwujames9654]

What are the thickness of those wires?

[@ganiyuobagunlu5802]

Well done ❤ but it's so sad to see more students watching entertaining videos than educative ones.I believe if it's comedy you'll have more likes and views than this

[@vindalsacademy]

So sad bro. But, we move

[@Lash.Man1]

There is time for everything, I love watching comedies but I also have separate time for other stuffs, thank you sir for your wonderful work

Well done sir. Pls whr can i get those plug and play switch u used?

[@vindalsacademy]

It's hard to get but just buy. Ordinary wire. Black and red

[@israelokorawhe6618]

@@vindalsacademy ok thanks

[@Adeymolahubs]

Thanks for this Bro. Do you have an Idea about where I can get those blue and red connecting cables?

[@vindalsacademy]

You may not get exactly this one. But, just ask of a small wires. Red and black

[@Adeymolahubs]

Thanks so much sir

[@Oyinz356]

Sir after tying the wire should we cut off the part that's not needed? I asked because I'm wondering if it would affect the results of the experiment. Also I'm not sure if we'd have enough wire on that day yet

[@vindalsacademy]

Yes. Just measure only 100cm and use it for the rest of the experiment

[@itzmikael]

Appreciate the video sir...can you do one on Archimedes principal

[@vindalsacademy]

Sure now guy. I am working on it. Just that the apparatus will be today. But subscribe and share the video to encourage me to do more.

[@israeleshovo]

Good job sir, what about experiment on Relative density and triangular glass prism

[@vindalsacademy]

I am working on that one soon it will be made available

[@Joshua-ds8xz]

Thank you sir for that but I will need more explanation on those experiments

[@vindalsacademy]

Yes I will do one more experiment. Part two of the electricity.

[@vindalsacademy]

But help me share the videos to encourage me to do more.

[@obadofinsamson7793]

Good one. Does the constantan wire on one metre bridge affect the determination of the balance point compared to another metre bridge. I purchased a new metre bridge for my school, its thickness of the constantan wire differs from the old metre bridge and their readings are so far apart.

[@vindalsacademy]

@@obadofinsamson7793 Yes because different wires have different resistance so different balance points

[@vindalsacademy]

Tell me where you are watching from. And how your experiment works

[@vindalsacademy]

Lol. I will do the video soon

That's cool but I'm a student from 0 to 12k 😄 I like you I'll recommend you to my friends

@@vindalsacademy I'm pretty sure I'm the highest 😌

[@vindalsacademy]

Wow such confidence is good. Keep it up

[@udamagodwin4937]

Good job, but the values of LX are too high, I think they should not go beyond 47cm for any length of resistance wire

[@vindalsacademy]

Yes there was a problem with that reading. Go to examguide. Where I did the correct version. So sorry about that

[@vindalsacademy]

Or just check my last video. Part 2 of the electricity

[@omokiikan]

Please sir where did you get the connecting wires and how much does it cost?

[@vindalsacademy]

I can supply for you if you want. But again go to any electrical store ask of red and black wire

[@omokiikan]

@@vindalsacademy how much does it cost? If you want to supply?

[@dunukenechukwu999]

Why aren't you using the wire on top of the metre rule on the metre bridge

[@vindalsacademy]

That wire is rusty. So the conductivity is poor

[@EricAbokyi-xx7sp]

I love it but always let the camera be close thank you

[@daviduc7573]

How can i get this type of connecting wires?

[@vindalsacademy]

It must not be this kind I am using. Any laboratory wire can do a good job.

[@daviduc7573]

Just that I like connecting heads for easy connections

[@user-tx3rf7uv5b]

Can potentiometer be instead of meter bridge

[@vindalsacademy]

It's not part of the apparatus.

[@abuhjohn8688]

A potentiometer can't do the work of a metre bridge,you can check New school physics for more explanation

Is there no formula to solve this tin

[@chrisapathy6202]

my galvanometer deflects only in one direction on all position of the metre bridge

[@chrisapathy6202]

what could be the problem of galvanometer deflecting only in one direction, I bought another galvanometer but does not resolve the problem of the unidirectional motion

[@vindalsacademy]

Adjust the position of your rheostat

[@vindalsacademy]

To see what happens next

[@ibitowamubarak5684]

Jockey was not included in d instructions

[@okwudilisunday43]

thanks tou chaiman. But the thing doesnt run smoothly at all with another wire of another materialeg copper

[@vindalsacademy]

Because every wire has different resistance.

[@OlayinkaAnimashaun-ns4dv]

Well-done,but there's so much manipulation in the experiment.I guess physics practical is not as easy as it seems....once thank you for the insight!

[@vindalsacademy]

Some are not easy to manipulate

[@azeezatzubayr1187]

Is dis correct question

[@vindalsacademy]

Lol, no sir. This is a guide

Which I could know all these 😢 I belong to these field , assuming I'm good at physics I believed I would use the knowledgeable to invent something that no did. 😢

[@julianaokhios3021]

Wetin u dey type. I don't get

[@riwoggia.r140]

Video is good. But the rheostat has not been resolved, you only guessed a point on the rheostat to have a reading on the Galvanometer.

[@vindalsacademy]

Remember Waec said other necessary materials. They may request that a certain amount of current is recorded.

[@vindalsacademy]

So don't worry okay

[@femiEmmanuel-ku5xz]

Lagos

[@vindalsacademy]

Thank you Femi. Please share the video

[@SundayAigbiremonlen]

Your connection is wrong , according to the theory of the experiment, as the length of wire decreases , the balance point increases.

[@vindalsacademy]

@Sunday thank you for that observation, I will go back to the lab to check and I will respond accordingly. Once again thanks

[@ayobamioluseun5527]

I couldn't get the zero point on the galvanometal with this connection

[@vindalsacademy]

@ayobamioluseun5527. You have to try again. Check if all your apparatus are working well. Or just adjust your rheostat. Or check if the rheostat is connected wwll

[@vindalsacademy]

Sunday your comment is unfair. I have reconsidered the experiment. The principle is well followed. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire.

[@aturubukola2892]
