Practicals:
1.To measure the Dielectric Constant of a dielectric Materials with frequency.
2.To determine the band gap using a thermistor.
3.To study the PE Hysteresis loop of a Ferroelectric Crystal.
4.To draw the BH curve of Ferromagnetic material using Solenoid & determine energy loss from Hysteresis. (a relevant question is how to find area of irregular 2D geometrical shape? Monte-Carlo? Using Graph ? etc)
5.To measure the resistivity of a semiconductor (Ge) with temperature by four-probe method (room temperature to 150°C) and to determine its band gap.
6.To determine the Hall coefficient of a semiconductor sample.
