Posted by admin on July 24, 2017 | No comments

THE FORMAT OF PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS,
The experiments are presented in the form of self-instructional
material in the following format
1) Aim: It defines the scope of the experiment.
2) Objectives: The objectives of an experiment give you an idea about the
skills or the knowledge that you are expected to develop after performing
that experiment.
3) What you should know?: It highlights the concepts and background
knowledge related to the experiment, which you must understand in order
to do the experiment in a meaningful way.
4) Material required: It gives an exhaustive list of apparatus and other material
required to perform the experiment.
5) How to set up and perform the experiment?: The steps are given in a
sequential manner for setting up the apparatus and performing the,
experiment. The precautions, wherever necessary, are incorporated while
describing various steps.
6) What to observe?: A proper format of recording the observations, is
suggested in each experiment.
7) Analysis of data: How to analyze your data, is suggested in each experiment;
Quite frequently, it is combined with the previous heading, at serial number 6.
8) Result: It is the outcome of the observations and supports the aim set in the
beginning.
9) Sources of error: Since all the experiments in physics involve measurements,
your attention; is drawn in each experiment to major pitfalls specific to that
experiment, if any, which may cause error in your measurements.
10) Check your understanding: At the end of each experiment, a few questions
have been incorporated to consolidate what has been done and to check

your own understanding about it.
