PHYSICS LAB EXAM REVIEWER:

Schedule (Monday, Morning)

Experiment 1: The Physics Laboratory Tools and Equipment

Tools w function from Test I and Test II

Name: Bunsen Burner

Function: It is used to heat substances, to combust substances, and to
sterilize objects on high heat.

Name: Triple Beam Balance

Function: It is a typical instrument used to measure the
mass of various objects

Name: Magnetic Compass

Function: an instrument for determining direction on the surface of Earth
by means of a magnetic pointer that aligns itself with Earth's magnetic
field.

Name: Wire Gauze

Function: provides a stable, heat-resistant surface for
containers such as flasks, beakers, and test tubes, and
helps to distribute heat evenly.
Name: Rheostat
Function: can be used to adjust and control the amount of current flowing around it.

Name: Calorimeter
Function: device for measuring the heat developed during a
mechanical, electrical, or chemical reaction and for calculating the
heat capacity of materials.

Name: Volt meter

Function: an instrument that measures the voltage or potential
difference between two points of an electronic or electrical circuit.

Name: Linear Expansion Apparatus

Function: It is a device for measuring the
thermal expansion of solids in
dependence on length and material.
Name: Spring balance
Function: It is a device used to determine the weight of an object.

Name: Digital Multimeter

Function: is a test tool used to measure two or more
electrical values—principally voltage (volts), current
(amps) and resistance (ohms).

Name: Ruler
Function: device used to measure length and
draw straight lines. A ruler is used to measure
the length in both metric and customary units.
Name: Inclined Plane
Function: It is a device used for raising heavy bodies.

Name: Vernier Caliper

Function: used to measure outer dimensions of objects, inside
dimensions and depths.

Name: Calibration Weights

Function: used to calibrate scales or balances or to provide a
counterweight to hold an object in place.

Name: Analog Multimeter

Function: are used to measure electrical quantities such as voltage,
current, resistance, frequency and signal power.
Name: Pulley
Function: designed to support movement and change of direction of a taut cable or belt, or
transfer of power between the shaft and the cable or belt.

Name: Micrometer
Function: used to measure the dimensions of objects
with high precision. Also an instrument for making
precise linear measurements of dimensions.

Name: Thermometer
Function: used to measure the boiling point and
freezing point during science experiments.

Name: Resistor
Function: An instrument used to reduce the
current flow and to lower the voltage in any
particular portion of the circuit.

Name: Hall’s cart

Function: allow the user and observers to analyze
the link between work and energy. It is also used for
inclined plane demonstrations.

Name: Ammeter
Function: used to measure the flow of electrical current in a circuit.

Name: Analytical Balance

Function: to determine the mass of solid objects, liquids, powders
and granular substances.

Name: Funnel
Function: filtering, filling, decanting or transferring liquids or
powders from one vessel to another.

Name: Tuning fork

Function: an instrument used to produce sound
in fixed frequency in laboratories.
