Expriment Precaution

The document discusses various precautions that should be taken when conducting physics experiments involving springs, heat, light, and electricity. Some key precautions mentioned include avoiding parallax errors by positioning the eye perpendicular to measurement scales, accounting for zero errors in instruments, ensuring springs are not loaded beyond their elastic limits, stirring liquids constantly for even heating, and keeping electrical connections tight.

Possible Precaution that can be taken: a. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such that the line of view is perpendicular to the scale read. ( for ammeter/voltmeter/measuring cylinder etc) b. Take into account zero error of instrument. (for calipper/micrometer/weight scale etc.)

Measuring Instrument

Spring/Hookes Law

a. make sure the spring is not loaded beyond the elastic limit. (spring return to original length when load is taken off). b. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such that the line of view is perpendicular to the scale of the ruler. a. Liquid must be stirred constantly so that temperature rises evenly. b. Alluminium block must be wrapped with insulating material to prevent heat lost.

Heat c. Thermometer bulb should be smeared with oil to give better thermal contact with the block. d. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such that the line of view is perpendicular to the scale of the thermometer.

a. Experiment must be carried out in dark room. Light b. Lens, screen and object must be in line c. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such that the line of view is perpendicular to the scale of the ruler.

a. All connections of wire & other device must be tight. b. Off the switch after readings are taken to prevent wires from heating up (resistance increase) c. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such that the line of view is perpendicular to the scale of the ammeter/ voltmeter.
