Current and Voltage Relationships

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between current and voltage in various electrical components, including filament lamps, semiconductor diodes, metal conductors, and copper(II) sulfate solutions. Experimental setups typically involve applying a voltage and measuring the resulting current, with specific considerations for semiconductor diodes and electrolytic solutions, such as reversing polarity and maintaining constant temperature. The difference between polarization in a dry cell and a Leclanché cell is also mentioned, highlighting variations in their chemical processes. The user expresses gratitude for the quick responses received. Overall, the conversation emphasizes practical experimentation to understand these electrical relationships.

I am trying to find out about the relationship between current and voltage in:
a) filament lamps
b)semi-conductor diodes
c) a metal conductor at constant temperature
d) a solution of copper (II) sulphate using electrodes.

I pretty much know the results I am supposed to get, but could anyone aid me in steps for conducting experiments; especially for the semi-conductor diodes and the solution of copper (II) sulphate using electrodes.

Lastly, what is the difference between polarization in a dry cell and in a leclanche cell?

THANKS

The experimental setup for each of these cases is pretty much the same, isn't it? You apply a voltage and measure the current. Of course for b and d you have to do this in both directions and for c you have to find a way to keep the temperature constant.
 
I got what I needed but thanks for the quick reply.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
