11. Determination of Band Gap of semi conductors.
12. To study current Voltage characteristics, load response, areal characteristics and spectral response of photo voltaic Solar Cell.
a) A candidate is required to perform at least 3 experiments taking from each group. Initiative should be taken so that most of the experiments are covered in college in the distribution mentioned above. Emphasis should be given on the error in the taken data.
b) In addition a student should perform one or more experiments where he /she will have to convert the non electrical signal present in an experiment into electrical signal and measure them with the help of multimeter’oscilascope Student should calibrate the sensor for experiment before use.
c) Innovative experiments: One more experiment should be designed by student or the concerned teacher or both.
Note:
(i.) Failure to perform each experiment mentioned in b] and c] should be compensated by two experiments from two different groups mentioned in the above list.
(ii.) At the end of the semester report should sent to the board of studies regarding experiments, actually performed by the college, mentioned in b] and c]
(iii.) Experiment in b] and c] can be coupled and can be parts of a single experiment.
