Quick Recap — The Standard Experiments
- Mechanics: Young's modulus (extension of a loaded wire), surface tension (capillary rise), viscosity (terminal velocity of a falling sphere).
- Heat & sound: cooling curve (Newton's law of cooling), specific heat (method of mixtures), speed of sound (resonance tube).
- Electricity: resistance (Ohm's law), resistivity (metre bridge, a Wheatstone bridge), potentiometer (comparing emfs, finding internal resistance), galvanometer (figure of merit, half-deflection method).
- Optics: focal lengths of mirrors and a lens (parallax), the prism - curve, refractive index of a slab (travelling microscope).
- Electronics: the V-I characteristics of a p-n junction and a Zener diode, and identifying a diode, LED, resistor and capacitor.
