Practicals
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 are translated to the laboratory sessions thus providing a hands-on learning experience.

The students will be able to –
CO43: Assess the validity of physical theories through the design and performance of an experiment.
CO44: Analyze the uncertainties associated with the measurement of data and the interpretation of the data to draw valid scientific conclusions (lab skills).
CO45: Demonstrate lee’s method and platinum resistance thermometer.
CO46: Develop the skill to handle useful equipment’s related to electronics like transistor, amplifier, logic gates.

2. To determine thermal conductivity of a bad conductor by Lee’s method.
3. To determine ‘J’ by Calender and Barne’s method.
4. Determine the thermodynamic constant = Cp/Cv using Clement’s and Desorm’s method.
5. Study of variation of total thermal radiation with temperature.
6. To plot thermo emf versus temperature graph for Cu-Fe thermo couple and to determine temperature of a hot source (use sand bath).
7. To study the variation of power transfer to different loads by a D. C. source and to verify maximum power transfer theorem.
8. Study of half wave rectification using single diode and application of L & p section filters.
9. To study characteristics of a given transition PNP/NPN (CE, CB & CC configuration).
