CBSE Physics Practicals for Class 12

CBSE Physics Practicals for Class 12 play an important role in the assessment, adding to the final marks of
the subject. As the board exam approaches, students go through the syllabus prescribed by the CBSE
board. Besides this, they should also focus on the CBSE practicals (https://byjus.com/cbse/cbse-
practicals/) for Class 12 syllabus carrying 30 marks. Preparing for the practicals will help them score better
marks in Physics. For that, students must know to perform all the experiments given in the syllabus in order
to understand all the concepts of CBSE 12th standard Physics in a detailed way. Students can also
download the Physics Practical Class 12 Syllabus PDF for free here.

Physics Practical for Class 12 is divided into two sections, with marks distributed based on the experiment.
In section A, six experiments are present in the practical exam. The experiment records and activities
consist of 2 marks, and the viva on the experiment consists of 5 marks. Here, students will find all the
experiments and activities to be performed in sections A and section B. Also, we have provided the Physics
Lab Manual of CBSE Class 12 (https://byjus.com/cbse/class-12/), which consists detailed explanation of
each experiment. To download the CBSE Syllabus for Class 12 Physics Practicals, click on the link below.

CBSE Class 12 Physics Practical Syllabus: Experiments

Physics Practicals for Class 12 CBSE are given here so that students can understand the experiments in a
better and more detailed way. Students are suggested to study the theory and law behind the experiment
properly from Physics Lab Manual Class 12 before performing the experiment.
