PHYSICS PRACTICAL

NOTE: Students are expected to perform eight experiments in the semester. Out of these eight experiments, two experiments will be set in the examination paper.
The examination will be conducted for 6 hrs. The distribution of marks in the practical examination will be as follows:

1.    Two experiments            :      30 marks each

2.    Distribution of marks will be as follows :

         Figure /Formula/Theory         :    7
         Observations/Calculations      :    16
         Result /Result  Analysis                :          5
           Precautions                              :    2

3.    Viva -Voce                                :    10

            Total                                       :    70 marks

Note: The students will be required to perform 8 experiments in each semester:

1.    Curve fitting using MATLAB.
2.    Numerical integration (Simpson’s rule/ Trapezoidal rule) using MATLAB.
3.    Numerical double integration using MATLAB.
4.    Study of a Heat Capacity of Solids.
5.    To study temperature variation of resistivity or a semi-conductor and to obtain band gap using four probe method.
6.     To study Hall Effect and to determine hall coefficient.
7.     To verify Malus law & to determine brewster’s angle for glass.
8.     Determination of Hysterisis loss of a transformer by CRO.
9.      To study the characteristics of a solar cell:
(i)     Illumination characteristics
(ii)    Voltage  current characteristic
(iii)     Power load characteristic
(iv)     Areal characteristic    
10. To find out dissociation energy of I2.
