Section A
1.Using platinum resistance thermometer, find the melting point of a given substance.
2.To determine thermal conductivity of a bad conductor by Lee’s method.
3.To study the characteristics curve of a Zener diode.
4. To measure the resistivity of a semi-conductor with temperature by four probe method and to determine its band gap.
5. Study of variation of total thermal radiation with temperature.
6. Determination of the Curie Temperature of Monel Metal using a Transformer.
Section – B
1. Project
Details of Project
Students of Semester III are required to choose a topic for the project from a list approved by the department. They are required to perform a new experiment or carry out studies for writing a review article on a subject. At the end of the semester, a project report shall be submitted by each student. This project will be assigned to them at the beginning of the III semester.
Evaluation of Project:
A mid-term evaluation of the project will be made along with the CA test. This will carry 30 % of the total marks assigned for the project. At the end of the semester, the student shall be examined on the basis of project report submitted by her by a panel of external and internal examiners. The external appointed for the practical exam shall also evaluate the project along with the internal project supervisors. The evaluation of project will be based on presentation/viva-voce.
Total duration of practical exam and project evaluation shall be 5 hours.
User manual of the experiments are provided in the laboratory.
