Internal Assessment Scheme 2026 – 2027

Areas for the internal assessment for XII standard students in the subject Physics, for the
academic year 2026-27.
Students shall be assessed for 20 marks based on the two areas (10 marks each) during
the academic year 2026 – 27.
1) Area 1
Students to perform any 5 activities from the listed 13 activities and to maintain the
record in the Physics Journal.
Total marks : 10 (5 activities X 2 marks)
List of Activities:
1. To measure the resistance and impedance of an inductor with or without iron core.
2. To measure resistance, voltage (AC/DC), current (AC) and check continuity of a given
circuit using multimeter.
3. To assemble a household circuit comprising three bulbs, three (on/off) switches, a fuse
and a power source.
4. To assemble the components of a given electrical circuit.
5. To study the variation in potential drop with length of a wire for a steady current.
6. To draw the diagram of a given open circuit comprising at least a battery, resistor /
rheostat, key, ammeter and voltmeter. Mark the components that are
not connected in proper order and correct the circuit and also the circuit diagram.
7. To identify a diode, an LED, a resistor and a capacitor from a mixed collection of such
items.
8. Use of multimeter to see the unidirectional flow of current in case of a diode and an
LED and check whether a given electronic component (e.g., diode) is in working
order.
9. To study effect of intensity of light (by varying distance of the source) on an LDR.
10. To observe refraction and lateral deviation of a beam of light incident obliquely on a
glass slab.
11. To observe diffraction of light due to a thin slit.
12. To study the nature and size of the image formed by a (i) convex lens, or (ii) concave
