GENERAL PHYSICS PRACTICAL EBOOKS PDF

This physics practical has been designed in such a way that you will develop some
manipulative skills in handling some physics apparatus. It is an integral part of your
physics course, which reinforces some, if not all, the principles, theories and
concepts you must have learnt in Mechanics, Heat and Properties of Matter.
Furthermore, the Physics Practical is to enable you determine some physical
constants such as acceleration due to gravity, specific heat capacity of a sold or
liquid, force constant of a spiral spring to mention a few.
This physics practical course will show you how to:
• Identify the two physical quantities to be measured as the variables - the
independent and dependent variables;
• Determine the relationship between the two variables in form of a graph.
Thus the first thing you have to do is to study the concept of graph in Unit l.
In measurement, you are supposed to be accurate as possible but no measurement is
absolutely correct because of the errors that are bound to occur due to personal
errors.
Unit 2 therefore introduces you to how you can minimise or reduce such errors when
you measure physical quantities such as length, mass, time and temperature. Since
one is bound to make errors, you are required to analyse your errors in the process of
the determination of the physical constant. Unit 3 therefore shows you how you can
analyse your errors.
After Unit 3 are the ten (10) experiments that you are required to perform. In
performing these experiments you must posses the following before going to the
laboratory:
1. A mathematical set containing the protractor, set squares, pair of compass,
short ruler and pencils
2. A soft rubber (eraser)
3. 18cm long transparent plastic ruler
4. A scientific notebook with graph sheets to record your experiments.
5. Four - figure table and or a scientific calculator French - curves for drawing
graphs.
