Every student will perform 10 experiments (5 from each section) & 8 activities (4 from each section) during the academic year. Two demonstration experiments must be performed by the teacher with participation of students. The students will maintain a record of these demonstration experiments. B. Evaluation Scheme for Practical Examination : One experiment from any one section 8 Marks Two activities (one from each section) (4 + 4) 8 Marks Practical record (experiments & activities) 6 Marks Record of demonstration experiments & Viva based on these experiments 3 Marks Viva on experiments & activities 5 Marks Total 30 Marks Section A Experiments 1. To determine resistance per cm of a given wire by plotting a graph of potential difference versus current. 2. To find resistance of a given wire using metre bridge and hence determine the specific resistance of its material. 3. To verify the laws of combination (series/parallel) of resistances using a metre bridge. 4. To compare the emf of two given primary cells using potentiometer. 5. To determine the internal resistance of given primary cells using potentiometer. 6. To determine resistance of a galvanometer by half-deflection method and to find its figure of merit. 7.
