NO. TYPE OF
EXPERIMENT INVOLVING
PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN
1 Light a. Do the experiment in a dark room to get clear and sharp image b. Lens, screen and object must be in line and of same level c. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of meter
rule to avoid parallax error
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. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of meter rule to avoid parallax error
3 Electric / Electronic a. Make sure all the connections are correctly and tightly b. Switch off the circuit after taking the reading to avoid over
heating of the wires (resistance increase) c. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of
ammeter / voltmeter to avoid parallax error
4 Heat a. Stirred the liquid constantly, so the temperature rises evenly b. Aluminium 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. Make sure our eyes perpendicular to the reading of
thermometer to avoid parallax error
