REDUCED LIST OF PRACTICALS
PHYSICS
FOR HSSC (2006 KPK)
1. Measure length and diameter of a solid cylinder and
hence estimate its volume quoting proper
number of significant figures using Vernier callipers.
2. Measure the diameters of a few ball bearings of
different sizes using Screw Gauge and estimate
their volumes. Mention the uncertainty in each result.
3. Verify the two conditions of equilibrium using a
suspended metre rod.
4. Determine the moment of inertia of a fly wheel.
5. Verify that the time period of the simple pendulum
is directly proportional to the square root of its
length and hence find the value of ‘g’ from the graph.
6. Determine time constant by charging and discharging
a capacitor through a resistor.
7. Determine resistance of wire by slide Wire Bridge.
8. Analyse the variation of resistance of thermistor
with temperature.
9. Determine internal resistance of a cell using
potentiometer.
11. Determine emf of a cell using potentiometer.
11. Investigate the relationship between current
passing through a tungsten filament lamp and the
potential applied across it.
12. Draw characteristics of semiconductor diode and
calculate forward and reverse current resistances
