Objective: 
  • This course introduces students to the methods of experimental physics. 
  •  Emphasis is given on laboratory techniques such as accuracy of measurements and data analysis. 
  • The concepts that are learnt in the lecture sessions pertaining to Optics and Oscillations are translated to the laboratory sessions thus providing a hands-on learning experience.

Physics Lab Course II

(Practical)

CO17: Demonstrate

observation skills in

Physics laboratory.

 

CO18: ​​Analyze and interpret the measurements

to draw valid conclusions with honesty.

 

CO19: Develop oral

and written

scientific

communication, and

think critically and

work independently.

 

CO20: Contribute effectively in Course specific interaction.

Approach in teaching:Demonstration, Group activity, Discussion, Conduction of Experiments

Learning activities for the students: Performing Experiments, taking observations , Analysis and interpretation of results, Error analysis, preparation of viva voce questions and maintain practical record.

Class test, Semester end examinations, Viva voce, Practical record file

 

 List of Experiment 

  1. To study the electromagnetic induction and to verify Faraday’s Law.
  2. To study the characteristics of a junction diode.
  3. To study the variation of power transfer to different loads by a D. C. source and to verify maximum power transfer theorem.
  4. To verify laws and network theorems in D C circuits.
  5. To study the variation of magnetic field along the axis of a current carrying circular coil.
  6. Plot the necessary graph and hence determine the radius of circular coil.
  7. To determine the specific resistance of the material of a resistance wire and to determine the difference between two small resistances using Carey Foster’s bridge.

Essential Readings:

·       User manuals of the instruments are provided in the laboratory.
