Engineering Physics Practicals by Dr. B. Srinivasa Rao,Kesava Vamsi Krishna V,K.S. Rudramamba

---

Book Summary:

This book is designed to meet the course on Engineering Physics Practical of engineering curriculum for the First Year engineering students. Laboratory work is an important part of the process of learning physics where students apply their knowledge practically. As no textbook available on the market on Engineering Physics dealt with the experimental part in detail and so in the classroom lecture, the authors bring out this book.

The authors present this book in a very lucid style such that even a below average student can understand the concepts and procedures of the experiments without much strain and is motivated to learn the concepts and principles with more zeal and interest. This volume examines twenty six practicals with the details of their aim, apparatus required, principle, procedure, observation, result, discussion, etc.

Audience of the Book :

This book is designed to meet the course on Engineering Physics Practical of engineering curriculum for the First Year engineering students. 

Key Features:

Written in a student-friendly manner the book is enriched with the following features:

• Twenty-six experiments covering the whole syllabus of Engineering Physics
• Detail of applications of instruments related to the experiment
• Detail theory of the principle of experiment
• Viva voce questions on all the experiments
• Precautions to be taken while conducting the experiment
• Straight forward approach to illustrate the concepts of experiments

The book is mainly aimed for the First Year B.Tech. students of Jawahar Lal Nehru Technological University and all its affiliated colleges in Andhra Pradesh. The subject matter of the book is organized in such a way that all undergraduate engineering students of various other universities may also be benefitted.
