Precaution in Experiment

This document discusses precautions that should be taken for different types of experiments: - For spring/Hooke's law experiments, the spring should not be loaded beyond its elastic limit. - For heat experiments, the liquid must be stirred constantly and materials insulated to prevent heat loss. - For light experiments, they must be done in a dark room with lens, screen and object aligned. - For electricity experiments, all connections must be tight and switches off after readings to prevent heating.

LAW

PRECAUTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN


a. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye
perpendicular to the scale. (ammeter,
volmeter, measuring cylinder, ruler)
b. Take into account zero error of instrument.
(caliper, micrometer)
a. Make sure the spring is not loaded beyond
the elastic limit. (the spring return to
original position when the load is taken of
b. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye
perpendicular to the scale.
a. Liquid must be stirred constantly so that
temperature rises evenly.
b. Alluminium block must be wrapped with
insulating material to prevent heat lost.

HEAT

c. Thermometer bulb should be smeared with


oil to give better thermal contact with the
block.
d. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye
such that the line of view is perpendicular
to the scale of the thermometer.
a. Experiment must be carried out in dark
room.

LIGHT

b. Lens, screen and object must be in line


c. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such
that the line of view is perpendicular to the
scale of the ruler.
a. All connections of wire & other device must
be tight.

ELECTRICITY

b. Of the switch after readings are taken to


prevent wires from heating up (resistance
increase)
c. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such
that the line of view is perpendicular to the
scale of the ammeter/ voltmeter.
