Refractive index of a liquid Aim To find the refractive index of a liquid using convex lens and plane mirror. Apparatus and Material Required Principle A real and inverted image coincides with the object placed on the principal focus point of a convex lens when a plane mirror placed horizontally below the lens. The rays from…
I-V characteristic curve for a p-n junction Aim To draw the I-V characteristic curve for a p-n junction diode in forward and reverse bias. Apparatus and Material Required Principle Procedure Caution Never increase the value of the voltage too much across the diode. Excessive current flow may damage the diode if it exceeds its limit. Maximum…

Aim To verify the laws of combination of resistances (series and parallel) using a metre bridge. Apparatus and Material Required Principle When two resistances \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) are connected in series, the resistance of the combination \(R_S\) is given by \[R_S = R_1 + R_2\] When these two resistances are connected in parallel, the resistance of…
Aim To find resistance of a given standard resistor using metre bridge. Apparatus and Material Required Description of the Apparatus Meter BridgeMeter bridge consists of one-meter-long constantan wire with uniform cross-sectional area and three thick metal strips, two bent at ninety-degree angles. Mounted on a wooden board marked with a scale, these components create a setup…
