COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Applied Physics Lab consists of experiments from the classical physics and it enhances the skills of
students regarding the basic concepts of physics, for example Forces, Vectors, Laws of motion, the
laws of lenses, Lenz’s law and magnetism, the concept of flywheel and other basics of classical
physics. The lab inculcates in student the basics of physics with practical applications.

TEXT AND MATERIALS:

Physics Lab Manual

REFERENCE BOOK’s

1. Physics by Halliday Krane Resnick 5th Edition

2. Cutnell - Physics 9th
3. Text book of Physics for 9th and 10th grade, B.I.S.E.P

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:

The course is designed so that students will achieve the PLO/s:

1. PLO 4. Investigation: An ability to investigate complex engineering problems in a

methodical way including literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis and
interpretation of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive valid conclusions.
2. PLO 9. Individual and Team Work: An ability to work effectively, as an individual or in a
team, on multifaceted and /or multidisciplinary settings.
