    Precautions of Experiment of Physics

    Uploaded by

    Jacelyn Jacelyn
    This document outlines precautions that should be taken for various investigative experiments in physics: 1. For light experiments, the room must be darkened, and the lens, screen, and object must be aligned to avoid parallax errors. 2. For spring experiments, the spring must not be loaded beyond its elastic limit and parallax must be avoided. 3. Electric experiments require secure connections, switching off after readings to prevent heating, and avoiding parallax errors. 4. Heat experiments involve stirring liquids constantly, insulating heated blocks, applying oil to thermometers, and avoiding parallax errors. 5. For measurements, parallax errors and zero errors should be considered.

    PRECAUTIONARY STEPS FOR INVESTIGATIVE EXPERIMENTS


    Paper 3: Question 3 and 4 [1 mark]

    No. Type of experiment Precautions that can be taken


    involving;
    1 Light a. Experiment must be carried out in darkened room.
    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.
    2 Spring 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.

    3 Electric a. All connections must be secure/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.
    4. Heat a. Liquid must be stirred constantly so that
    temperature rises evenly.
    b. Alluminium block must be wrapped with
    insulating material to prevent heat lost.
    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.
    5 Measuring instruments a. Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such that
    such as ammeter, the line of view is perpendicular to the scale read.
    voltmeter, metre rule ... b. Take into account zero error of instrument.

    * [Student can give more than one answer for this question. No penalty for the answer which
    is unsuitable]

    * unacceptable answer
    Avoid parallax error. [without any further explanation]
