CBSE,class 12th,Physics practical file readings Hello! friends, got no time or no friends to borrow physics practical file reading and you need it badly right now : here is your solution: The return of my doomed work. I deleted my post by accident. But worry not  friends. I recovered the lost copy of this blog and it is back to help you again. School is for enjoyment and sometimes we tend to left out few of the practicals. That is not a problem anymore. Before the submission of my practical file during the board exams. I knew that some scary looking teacher would just tear the file apart so that it cannot be used again.

Physics file was the most difficult to maintain, all the reading and so much calculation. I thought in the day of my desolation when no one would share the file or they themselves have not completed it or maybe have done the whole practical wrong, interred a sense of Board Exam in my bones. Most of the practicals screenshot have been listed below with exact numbering. If you find anything missing or above your head, do post some comments as there are many others who visit this site and these might be able to help you out of this muck.

It is known as resistance of the conductor.                                                       V/I=R R depends upon the nature of material, temperature & dimensions of the conductor. http://12tphysicspracticalfilereadings.blogspot.in/

EXP2> TO DETERMINE RESISTANCE OF GALVANOMETER BY HALF DEFLECTION METHOD AND TO FIND ITS FIGURE OF MERIT.

MATERIAL REQUIRED: A moving coil galvanometer, a battery or a battery eliminator (0 6 V), one resistance box (RBOX 1) of range 010kΩ, one resistance box(RBOX 2) of range 0200Ω, 2 one way keys, voltmeter, connecting wires and a piece of sand paper. Theory: Galvanometer is a sensitive device used to detect very low current. Its working is based on the principle that a coil placed in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque when an electric current is set up in it. The deflection of the coil is determined by a pointer attached to it, moving on the scale. When a coil carrying current I is placed in a radial  magnetic field, the coil experiences a deflection θ which is related to I as                                                                                                             I=kθ where k is a constant of proportionality and is termed as figure of merit of the galvanometer.

Set up the circuit as shown in Fig. E 2.1 with unknown resistance wire of known length in gap E. 4. Next, introduce some resistance R in the circuit from the resistance box. Bring the jockey J in with terminal A first and then with terminal C. Note the direction in which pointer of the galvanometer gets deflected in each case. Make sure that jockey remains in  with the wire for a fraction of a second. If the galvanometer shows deflection on both sides of its zero mark for these two points of  of the jockey, null point will be somewhere on the wire AC. If it is not so, adjust resistance R so that the null point is somewhere in the middle of the wire AC, say, between 30 cm and 70 cm. 5. If there is onesided deflection, check the circuit again, especially junctions, for their continuity. 6. Repeat step 4 for four different values of resistance R. 7. Interchange the position of the resistances S and R and repeat steps 4 to 6 for the same five values of R. While interchanging S and R, ensure that the same length of wire of resistance S is now in the gap F. The interchange takes care of uned resistance offered by terminals.

EXP7> To draw characteristics of a zener diode and to determine its reverse breakdown voltage. Theory: A Zener Diode is constructed for operation in the reverse breakdown region.The relation between IV is almost linear in this case                                                      Vz =Vz0+Iz Rz, where Rz is the dynamic resistance of the zener at the operating point. Vz0 is the voltage at which the straightline approximation of the IV characteristic intersects the horizontal axis. After reaching a certain voltage, called the breakdown voltage, the current increases widely even for a small change in voltage. However, there is no appreciable change in voltage. So, when we plot the graph, we should get a curve very near to xaxis and almost parallel to it for quite sometime. After the Zener potential Vz there will be a sudden change and the graph will become exponential.

value of current and voltage gain. Theory: An NPN transistor can be considered as two diodes with a shared anode region.In typical operation, the emitterbase junction is forward biased and the base collector junction is reverse biased. The electrons in the base are called minority carriers because the base is doped ptype which would make holes the majority carrier in the base.The base region of the transistor must be made thin, so that carriers can diffuse across it in much less time than the semiconductor’s minority carrier lifetime, to minimize the percentage of carriers that recombine before reaching the collector base junction.                                                                  β=∆Ic/∆Ib

Requirements: An optical bench with uprights for holding lens, mirror and two needles, two needles (pins), a thin convex lens, a convex mirror,  index needle (may be a knitting needle or a pencil sharply pointed at both ends), a meter scale and a spirit level. Theory: A convex lens L1 converges the light rays starting from the object AB to form a real and inverted image A′B′ at position I1 [Fig. E 12.2(a)]. If a concave diverging lens L2 is inserted between the lens L1 and point I1 as shown in Fig. E 12.2 (b), for concave lens L2 image A′ B′ behaves as virtual object. A real and inverted image A′′ B′′ is formed at point I2 by the diverging lens L2. Thus, for the concave lens L2 the distances O′ I1 and O′ I2 would be the distances u and v, respectively.

Place the optical bench on a rigid platform and using the spirit level, make it horizontal with the help of levelling screws provided at the base of the bench. 3. Place the uprights mounted with pin P1 (object pin), convex lens L1, and another pin P2 (image pin) on the optical bench. You may put a small piece of paper on image pin P2 to differentiate it from the image of object pin P1 [Fig. E 12.2(a)]. 4. Check the collinearity of the tip of pin P1, optical center O of convex lens L1, and the tip of image pin P2 along a horizontal straight line  which is parallel to the length of the optical bench. In this condition the planes of lens and both the pins would be perpendicular to the axis of the lens. 5. For the determination of the index correction, bring a mounted pin close to the concave lens L2. Adjust the index needle (a sharp edged knitting needle would also serve the purpose) horizontally such that its one end touches one of the curved surfaces of the lens and the other end touches the tip of the pin. Note the positions of the two uprights on the scale provided on the optical bench. The difference of the two would give the observed length of the index needle. The actual length between the tip of the pin and optical center O′ of the lens L2 would be length of the index needle (as measured by a scale) plus half of the thickness of the lens at its optical center. The difference of the two lengths is the index correction. (If the concave lens is thin at the center, its thickness at the center can be ignored). http://12tphysicspracticalfilereadings.blogspot.in/

6. Separate the object pin P1 from the convex lens by a distance slightly greater than the focal length fL of the lens. 7. Locate its real and inverted image at point I1 on the other side of the lens by removing the parallax between the image pin P2 and image of the object pin P1 [Fig. E 12.3(a)]. 8. Read the positions of the uprights holding the object pin P1, convex lens L1, and image pin P2 (i.e. point I1). Record these observations in Table E 12.1. 9. From now on, do not change the position of the convex lens L1 and the position of the object pin P1. Insert the concave lens L2 in between the convex lens L1 and image pin P2. Now the image of object pin will shift further from the convex lens L1 to a point I2(say). Adjust the position of the concave lens so that the point I2 is sufficiently away from the point I1. 10. In case the image formed by the combination of convex and concave lenses is not distinctly visible, try to see it on moving the concave lens nearer to the point I1 and to locate the image by using a pencil held in hand, and keeping the image pin P2 at point I1 as a guide to decide which way to shift the concave lens L2. After having seen the clear image at point I2 and ensured that it lies within the range of the optical bench, move image pin P2 to locate the image (or point I2) more accurately using the method of parallax [Fig. E 12.3(b)]. Since the image forming at I2 is quite enlarged, it can be blurred. 11. Note the position of uprights holding the concave lens and image pin P2, i.e., point I2. Note the readings in the Observation Table. 12. Change the position of upright holding the object pin P1 and repeat the steps 6 to 10. Take five sets of observations. OBSERVATIONS: 1.

The corresponding main scale reading (MSR) and vernier scale coincidence (VSC) in the vertical scale are noted in the tabular column.(Reading 2) 4.Finally, a little lycopodium powder or saw dust which can float on liquid is scattered on the surface of the liquid. The microscope is further moved up without changing the adjusted focus, so that the clear image of lycopodium powder is seen through the microscope. The corresponding main scale reading (MSR) and vernier scale coincidence (VSC) in the vertical scale are noted in the tabular column. (Reading 3) 5.The difference between this Reading 3 and Reading 1 gives the real depth of the liquid, whereas the difference between Reading 3 and Reading 2 gives the apparent depth of the liquid. 6.By substituting the readings in the formula, the refractive index of the liquid (water) is determined.

needle and a half meter scale. Theory: The relation between u, v and f for a convex lens is

Where,              f= focal length of convex lens             u= distance of object needle form optical center of the lens             v= distance of image needle from optical center of the lens.

Principal focus is the point where rays parallel to the principal axis focus after ing through the lens (convex) or appear to come from after ing through the lens (concave). 4. Focal length is the distance between optical center of lens and focus. 5.

Procedure: 1.Obtain approximate value of the focal length of the thin convex lens by focusing the image of a distant object. It can be found by obtaining a sharp image of the Sun or a distant tree on a screen, say a plane wall, or a sheet of paper placed on the other side of the lens and measuring the distance between the lens and the image with a scale. This distance is a rough estimate of the focal length, f of the convex lens. 2. Place the optical bench on a rigid table or on a platform, and using the spirit level, make it horizontal with the help of leveling screws provided at the base of the bench.

3. Clamp the convex lens on an upright and mount it vertically almost near to the middle of the optical bench such that its principal axis is parallel to the optical bench. In this position, the lens would lie in a plane perpendicular to the optical bench. 4. For the determination of the index correction, bring a mounted pin close to the lens. Adjust the index needle (a sharpedged knitting needle would also serve the purpose) horizontally such that its one end touches one of the curved surfaces of the lens and the other end touches the tip of the pin. Note the positions of the two uprights on the scale provided on the optical bench. The difference of the two would give the observed length of the index needle. The actual length between the tip of the pin and optical center O would be length of the index needle (as measured by a scale) plus half of the thickness of the lens because optical center of a double convex lens with surfaces of equal curvature is at its geometrical center. The difference of the two lengths is the index correction. Find index correction for both the pins. 5. Place the vertically mounted sharp pins P and P′ (Fig. E 10.3) on left and right hand sides of the lens respectively. Adjust the pins P and P′ so that the heights of the tips of these pins become equal to the height of the optical center O of the lens from the base of the optical bench. Let the pin P (placed on left hand side of the lens ) be the object pin and the pin P′ (lying on right hand side) be the image pin. Put a small piece of paper on one of the pins (say on image pin P′) to differentiate it from the object pin P′. 6. Displace the object pin P (on left side of the lens) to a distance slightly less than 2f from the optical centre O of the lens (Fig. E 10.3). Locate the position of the real and inverted image on the other side of the lens above the image pin P′. 7. Using the method of parallax, adjust the position of the image pin P′ such that the image of the object pin P coincides with the image pin P′. 8. Note the upright position of the object pin, convex lens and image pin on the optical bench and record the readings in an observation table. 9. Move the object pin P closer to the optical centre O of the lens (say by 2 cm or 3 cm). Repeat the experiment and record at least six sets of readings for various distances of object pin between f and 2f from the lens.

OBSERVATIONS: 1. Approximate focal length of the convex lens = ... cm 2. Length of the index needle as measured by the meter scale,                                                                                                Lo =... cm http://12tphysicspracticalfilereadings.blogspot.in/

3. Thickness of the thin convex lens (given), t = ... cm 4. Actual length between the optical center O of the lens and tip of the pin, lo = Lo + t/2 = ... cm 5. Observed length of the index needle, l′o = Distance between the center of convex lens and tip of the object pin                     = Position of lens upright – position of object pin upright on the scale.                                                                                                                           = ... cm – ... cm =...cm 6. Index correction for object distance, eo = lo – l′o = cm; similarly for image pin                                                         ei = lil'i   = ......cm   RESULT: The focal length of the given converging thin convex lens: (i)  f ± f = ...cm (here f is mean value of the focal length) (ii) from u – v graph =...cm, and (iii) from 1/u1/v graph=....cm
