Materials Required:
Potentiometer
Battery eliminator
Two one way keys
Rheostat of low resistance
Galvanometer
Two resistance boxes
Leclanche cell
Jockey
Ammeter
Connecting wires
Arrange the required materials on a table and make the connections as per the connection diagram.
Tight the plugs of the resistance box.
To test the connection, insert the key k1 and note the ammeter reading. Introduce a sufficiently
high resistance on the resistance box (H.R). Place the jockey at the two end points of the wire. If
the galvanometer shows opposite deflection, then the connections are correct.
Without inserting the key k2, slide the jockey along the potentiometer wire and stops when null
point is obtained.
Measure the balancing length l1 between this point and the end P of the potentiometer.
Now, introduce plugs in keys k1 and k2. Take out a small resistance from the resistance box R
connected in parallel with the cell.
Again slide the jockey along the potentiometer wire to obtain the null point. Measure the new
balancing length l2 based on this point.
Reduce the value of R successively and in each time, measure the balancing length.
Keep the reading on the ammeter constant throughout the observation.

Calculations
Calculate the value of r for each set of l1 and l2. The mean of the calculated values gives the internal
resistance (r) of the given cell.
Result:
The internal resistance of the given primary cell, r = ..……….. Ω.
