E = ………………………………. V Set up the circuit shown in Fig. 1.2. Fig. 1.2 (not to scale) P and Q are crocodile clips. The distance between the nail and Q is x, as shown in Fig. 1.2. Adjust the position of Q until x is approximately 45 cm. Close the switch. The voltmeter reading is V. Measure and record x and V. x = ………………………………. V = ………………………………. [1] Open the switch.
