Physics Investigatory Project: Mr. Shailendra Pratap Physics Teacher Nps International School

The document summarizes a physics investigatory project on building a rain alarm. It introduces rain alarms as devices that use two aluminum rods to complete a circuit and make a sound when rain falls between them. It then describes the working of the rain alarm, noting that a sound is produced when rain creates a connection between the rods. Finally, it lists the components needed to construct the rain alarm, including transistors, resistors, capacitors, rain sensors, a speaker, battery, and switch.

Project Report on Rain Alarms

Rain Alarm : Introduction

Rain Alarm is a device which is used to give the information is the rain is occurring as it gives
sound when rain falls between the two aluminium rods. As the rain drop comes between the two
rods the circuit gets completed and a sound is produced from the speaker indicating the falling of
rain. It can be used in factories, open godowns where the goods need to be protected from rain. It
can also be used as a water level indicator by fixing the two rods at desired level when water will
reach that level it will automatically produce sound.

Working of Rain Alarm :

The aluminium tubes (rain sensors) are fixed on plastic plate with a small distance between them.
The plastic plate is immersed in water taken in a beaker. Presence of water between the
aluminium tubes effects circuit adjustment.

When switch P is closed current flows through the speaker and an audible note is produced. The
alarm is on.

When water is removed from the beaker or the tubes are taken out of water, alarm becomes dead.

When a rain alarm is set up according to circuit diagram and is connected to input A-C source
then its working starts.

Since when there is no water droplet complete and speaker doesn’t produce sound. But as soon
as rain starts water drop comes between the two rods the circuit gets completed and speaker
starts giving sound.
Construction of Rain Alarm :

It consists of various components named below :

(i) n-p-n transistor (BC 147)

(ii) p-n-p transistor (2N 6107)

(iii) Resistors (1.5 k, 330 k)—0.25 W

(iv) Capacitor ceramic (0.01 F)

(v) Two rain sensors (aluminium tube of diameter 5 mm and length 6 to 7 cm)

(vi) Speaker (5 to 8 )

(vii) Battery (6 V)

(viii) Switch.
Value of Resistances and their percentage accuracy are indicated on carbon resistance by a
colour code printed on them.
