CLASS 11 NON MEDICAL

Dear Students,
"Enjoy your summer break, recharge your energy, and embrace the joy of learning! Let
this vacation inspire you to explore new horizons. Remember that knowledge is a
powerful tool that can shape your future. So, make the most of this break while keeping
in mind the exciting challenges awaiting you upon your return.
To gain a smoothness in the academic discussions of our subject all are directed to write
all the given practicals in your practical record. The list of practicals is given below. You are
allowed to make the procedure of the experiment short without breaking the essence of
the experiment. You have to draw all the graphs after experimenting. No need to draw
pictures of the experiment but circuit diagrams are a must. All the circuit diagrams,
tabular columns, and calculations should be done on the unruled side with a pencil. Aim,
Apparatus, theory, procedure, result, source of error, and precautions should write on the
ruled side with a blue ball point pen.
LIST OF EXPERIMENTS
1. To measure diameter of a small spherical/cylindrical body and to measure internal diameter and
depth of a given beaker/calorimeter using Vernier Callipers and hence find its volume
2. To measure diameter of a given wire and thickness of a given sheet using screw gauge
3. To determine volume of an irregular lamina using screw gauge.
4. To determine radius of curvature of a given spherical surface by a spherometer
