Physics practical

After the completion of this course the student will be able to:

CO 70: Assess the validity of physical theories through the design and execution of an experiment, the analysis of uncertainties associated with the measurement of data and the interpretation of the data to draw valid scientific conclusions (lab skills).

 

CO 71: Be able to understand and demonstrate MATLAB concepts and its experiments.

 

 

CO 72: Be able to handle useful equipment’s related to solid-state physics like solar sell, hall effect, hysteresis loss of transformer, four probe method.

Approach in teaching: Demonstration, Group activity, Discussion ,Conduction of Experiments, Asking viva voce questions.

 

 

 

 

Learning activities for the students:

Performing Experiments, Analysis and interpretation of observations,

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

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

List of Experiments

  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.
