Investigatory Projects- Physics (2015-16)

As per C.B.S.E. guidelines, all students have to prepare one Investigatory Project carrying
3 marks. All students are therefore, advised to prepare one Investigatory Project on any
one of the following topics or any other topic of their choice based on concept of physics
after consulting the teacher during the summer vacation.
POINTERS FOR MAKING PROJECT REPORT

Date of submission:
2. Aim of Project
3. Apparatus required
4. Principle/theory
5. construction with labeled diagram,
6. Working
7. Observations
8. calculations,
9. Result/ Conclusions
10. Applications,
11. Graphs if any,
12. References/bibliography
13. Back cover of plastic: may be opaque or transparent

6. Use of semiconductor devices (transistor) as amplifier, oscillator, fire alarm, rain
alarm, etc.
7. To study and construct one way or two way intercom
8. To study Faraday law of EMI (self & mutual induction)
9. To study and construct Power/magnetic brake
10. To study and construct Thermo couple
11. To study various factors on which the internal resistance/emf of a cell depends.
12. To study the variations, in current flowing, in a circuit containing a LDR, because of
a variation. (a) in the power of the incandescent lamp, used to 'illuminate' the LDR.
(Keeping all the lamps at a fixed distance). (b) in the distance of a incandescent
lamp (of fixed power) used to 'illuminate' the LDR.
13. To find the refractive indices of (a) water (b) oil (transparent) using a plane
mirror, a equiconvex lens, (made from a glass of known refractive index) and an
adjustable object needle.
14. To design an appropriate logic gate combination for a given truth table.
15. To investigate the relation between the ratio of (i) output and input voltage and
(ii) number of turns in the secondary coil and primary coil of a self designed
transformer.
16. To estimate the charge induced on each one of the two identical styro foam (or
pith) balls suspended in a vertical plane by making use of Coulomb's law.
17. To set up a common base transistor circuit and to study its input and output
characteristic and to calculate its current gain.
18. To study the factor on which the self inductance of a coil depends by observing
the effect of this coil, when put in series with a resistor/(bulb) in a circuit fed up
by an a.c. source of adjustable frequency.
19. To construct a switch using a transistor and to draw the graph between the input
and output voltage and mark the cut-off, saturation and active regions.
20. To study the earth's magnetic field using a tangent galvanometer.
