Group 1: Experiments on Electricity and Mangentism
1. Determination of dielectric constant of a given dielectric material.
3. Determination of resistance of ballistic galvanometer by half deflection method and study of variation of logarithmic decrement with series resistance.
4. Determination of the thermo-electric power at a certain temperature of the given thermocouple.
5. Determination of specific charge (e/m) of electron by J.J. Thomson’s method. Group 2: Quantum Physics
6. Determination of Planck’s constant using photocell.
7. Determination of Lande’g factor using Electron spin resonance spetrometer.
8. Determination of Stefan’s radiation constant
9. Verification of Bohr’s atomic orbital theory through Frank-Hertz experiment.
10. Determination of Rydberg constant by studying Hydrogen/ Helium spectrum Group 3: Modern Physics
11. Determination of Hall co-efficient of semiconductors.
12. Determination of band gap of semiconductors.
13. To study current-voltage characteristics, load response, areal characteristics and spectral response of photo voltaic solar cells.
a) A candidate is required to perform 3 experiments taking one from each group. Initiative should be taken so that most of the Experiments are covered in a college in the distribution mentioned above. Emphasis should be given on the estimation of error in the data taken.
b) In addition a student should perform one more experiments where he/she will have to transduce the output of any of the above experiments or the experiment mentioned in c] into electrical voltage and collect the data in a computer using phoenix or similar interface.
c) Innovative experiment: One more experiment designed by the student or the concerned teacher or both.

Note:
Failure to perform each experiment mentioned in b] and c] should be compensated by two experiments mentioned in the above list.
At the end of the semester report should sent to the board of studies regarding experiments, actually performed by the college, mentioned in b] and c]
Experiment in b] and c] can be coupled and parts of a single experiment.
