Class 12 Physics Practicals and Activities
A. Practicals
1. To determine resistivity of two / three wires by plotting a graph for potential
difference versus current.
2. To find resistance of a given wire / standard resistor using metre bridge.
3. To verify the laws of combination (series) of resistances using a metre bridge.
4. To find the value of v for different values of u in case of a concave mirror and to
find the focal length.
5. To find the focal length of a convex lens by plotting graphs between u and v or
between 1/u and 1/v.
6. To determine angle of minimum deviation for a given prism by plotting a graph
between angle of incidence and angle of deviation.
7. To determine resistance of a galvanometer by half-deflection method and to find
its figure of merit.
8. To find the refractive index of a liquid using convex lens and plane mirror.
B. Activities
1. To measure resistance, voltage (AC/DC), current (AC) and check continuity of a
given circuit using multicenter.
2. To assemble the components of a given electrical circuit.
3. To draw the diagram of a given open circuit comprising at least a battery,
resistor/rheostat, key, ammeter and voltmeter. Mark the components that are not
connected in proper order and correct the circuit and also the circuit diagram.
4. To identify a diode, an LED, a resistor and a capacitor from a mixed collection of
such items.
5. To observe refraction and lateral deviation of a beam of light incident obliquely on
a glass slab.
6. To study the nature and size of the image formed by a (i) convex lens, or (ii)
concave mirror, on a screen by using a candle and a screen (for different distances
of the candle from the lens/mirror).
