Practical Learning: Physics Lab
The Class 12 Physics lab is where theory meets reality. Students perform experiments like:
Measuring the resistance of a wire using a meter bridge.
Studying the characteristics of a diode.
Using a concave mirror to find focal length.
Verifying Ohm’s law and resonance in LCR circuits.
This hands-on approach teaches:
Accuracy in measurement.
Experimental design and observation.
Handling instruments like ammeters, voltmeters, galvanometers, and multimeters.
Recording data and deriving results.
Lab work cultivates scientific discipline and patience, crucial for those who wish to pursue
experimental sciences.
Application in Real Life and Technology
The concepts taught in Class 12 Physics are the very principles on which modern technology
operates:
Electromagnetic waves are the foundation of wireless communication—mobile phones,
radio, television, and satellite communication.
Optics is used in designing lenses, cameras, telescopes, and fiber-optic cables for internet.
Semiconductor electronics powers every modern gadget—from calculators to computers,
and even AI chips.
Nuclear physics is used in energy generation and medical imaging (MRI, CT scans).
Even everyday tools like remote controls, microwave ovens, and solar panels owe their working
principles to Physics.
