About The Book

The book entitled “Physics-Practical for B.Sc./B.Tech.” is prepared for the students pursuing graduate degree in Science and Engineering with an objective to fulfil the need for a concise laboratory book in Physics, covering the prescribed experiments in a single volume.The students pursuing science and engineering degree course, spend a fairly good amount of time in laboratory activities. Learning theoretical concepts of physics in laboratory by performing live experiments is a very important aspect of the curriculum in science and engineering. With the help of carefully planned experiments, the students get opportunity to explore the process of experimentation. Keeping in view of the problems faced by students in performing the laboratory experiments, the present book is designed to facilitate and to cater their needs. This book describes the experiments covering broad areas of physics namely; General Properties of Matter, Optics, Heat, Electricity and Electronics. That this book shall be extremely useful to the graduating students of science and engineering streams with the expectation that they will develop a deep interest in laboratory experiments with wider active participation.
