To determine the resultant resistance of two resistors connected in series, a student should take the following four precautions during the experiment: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Ensure a Closed Circuit**: - Before starting the experiment, make sure that the circuit is closed. This means that all connections are secure and the circuit is complete, allowing for a proper flow of current. If the circuit is open, no current will flow, and no readings can be taken. 2. **Maintain Proper Connections**: ...

List any five precautions to be taken while performing an experiment in a chemistry laboratory.

Consider a box with three terminals on top of it as shown in figure. Three components namely, two germanium diodes and one resistor are connected across these three terminals in some arrangement A student performs an experiment in which any two of these three terminals are connected in the circuit shown in figure. The student obtains graphs of current-voltage characteristics for unknown combination of components between the two terminals connected in the circuit. The graphs are (i) When A is positive and B is negative (ii) When A is negative and B is positive (iii) When B is negative and C is positve (iv) When B is positive and C is neagtive (v) When A is positive and C is negative (vi) When A is negative and C is positive From these graphs of current - voltage characteristic shown in fig. (c) to (h) determine the arrangement of components between A, B and C.
