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.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
