Experiment 10: Reversibility
Each Lab. report should be typed (except for the data sheet and calculations), and should include:
A title page and Table of Contents:
On this page include your name; course name and number; the number, title and date of the experiment. The following page should contain the Table of Contents for this report.
The instruction pages (in your own language):
2.1 The Purpose / Objectives of the experiment
2.2 The List of Apparatus / Equipment used in the experiment
2.3 The Theory and equations used.
2.4 Summary of the procedure / how the data was acquired.
Data and observations:
Record all your measurements carefully in a tabular form. Use data sheets from the manuals. Be sure to write the units for the data. You may have to modify the data sheet that is available in the manual due to different type of equipment in the lab.
Data Analysis / Calculations:
Carry out all the calculations using your data showing your steps clearly. Draw graphs / diagrams whenever required and explain what they mean. For instance, if you have got a straight-line graph, determine its slope and relate the slope to the physical problem at hand.
Results:
Make a Table in which you should show the final results that you have obtained in this experiment. By final results is meant those results that meet the objectives of the experiment. Be sure to consider significant figures and include the units and percent errors in the results.
Discussion/Conclusion:
In this section, include a summary, conclusion and discussion of the results. This usually requires you to state how good your results are in comparison with the objectives you stated at the beginning of your report. Compare your results with accepted values and state the percentage error. Discuss the sources of these errors and give other comments you would like to make about the experiment. Discuss areas of improvement in procedure to reduce errors. (This is the most important part of your report).
Additional Info:
Please try to keep item 2 to within three pages. Your report should not look like a manual (which states in the procedure what is to be done), rather, write what you actually did or you saw being done. Remember that the report is being written after the lab has already been conducted, so DO NOT write what HAS TO BE DONE, but rather, WRITE WHAT YOU HAVE done. Also, DO NOT tell the report reader what to do. Use same font and size throughout the report, label the sections, underline or bold the headings etc. Do not use a font that is too large or too small, or bold font except for headings. Do not copy-paste text from the manual in your report. Attach the data sheet and calculation sheets at appropriate places in the report (see format). Calculate the errors and include these in the Results and Discussion sections.
