How to crack UGC CSIR NET Physical Sciences ? How to prepare study schedule for it ?

If you are preparing for CSIR JRF/NET exam, you must be either interested in further research work or in the lectureship. In both cases, you must be having a deep interest in your field. This exam basically tests your general aptitude and your grip on Physics. The exam is of medium to high toughness level, but what makes it really hard is the handful number of selections each year. Therefore you have to prepare in a highly systematic manner to crack this examination. Following are some useful tips for the preparation for this exam :

  1. Strengthen your basics: A strong 12th Mathematics and Physics background is highly required and you should be strong in the fundamentals of Physics. As you will be going for further research or teaching, if you lack fundamental knowledge, it will be good for nothing.
  2. Time factor: Study at least 4–5 hours a day. Have a time table and equally distribute the time to all the topics. And remember that one cannot master all the topics. Therefore the topics you are not familiar with must not be taken in the starting. At least 6 months of hard work is required. So plan everything according to it.
  3. Study material : Keep yourself updated about the syllabus and know what to study. There are so n numbers of books and you should be very strict about what and what not to study. You don’t just want to spend a lot of time in preparing a single topic by reading the whole book. A selective study saves a lot of time. If you are not sure about it, better take a correspondence course from any prestigious coaching institute.
  4. Previous year papers: SOLVE AS MANY PAPERS AS YOU CAN. It will get you the idea of types of questions asked in the exam from various topics and tell you about the status of your preparation too. After each topic, solve as many problems as you can. But keep the time factor in your mind too.
  5. Motivation: And always keep yourself motivated. Yes, this path is not an easy one, but of course, not today but tomorrow, you will get paid for what you do now. So just have faith in yourself, plan and achieve it.

Silicon control Rectifier (SCR) input V-I characteristic

Aim

To study the Input V-I characteristics of Silicon control Rectifier (SCR)
with positive biasing and plot the curve between V and I

Apparatus:

  • NV 6530 SCR Characteristics Trainer
  • 2 mm Patch cords

Theory

An SCR is an acronym for silicon-controlled rectifier and is commonly referred to as a thyristor. It is a unidirectional semiconductor similar to a diode, which allows for current to flow in only one direction. It differs from a standard diode by having a third connection called a gate that controls when the SCR turns on. The gate signal is typically a voltage pulse
that will turn on the SCR and allow for it to conduct the current. The SCR will continue to stay on as long as it is forward biased, and the voltage across it is the proper polarity. To shut off the SCR, the voltage across it has to be reversed. They are typically found on AC circuits where the energy is continuously switching polarities. In an AC circuit, it is possible to control what portion of each half cycle is passed through the SCR by controlling the time of the gate pulse relative to zero crossings. Since current can only flow in one direction,
SCRs are also used in rectifying circuits where the AC voltage is converted to DC, such as in DC drive. These devices are typically used in high power applications.



Basic three modes of operation of SCR are

Reverse blocking mode

A cathode is positive concerning anode with the gate open. SCR is in reverse bias, i.e., junction J1 and J3 in reverse bias J2 are in forwarding bias. The device act as two PN diode connected in series with the reverse voltage applied across it. Leakage current of the order of a milliampere or
microampere flows, this is off the state of SCR. If reverse voltage increases, then at critical breakdown level or reverse breakdown voltage (VBR), an avalanche occurs at J1 and J3 and reverse current growth rapidly, so more loss in SCR. This may lead to SCR damage because the junction temperature is increasing. The maximum working reverse voltage across SCR does not exceed VBR. If the applied reverse voltage across SCR < VBR, then the device offers high impedance in the opposite direction. SCR is treated as an open switch.

Forward blocking mode (off-state mode)

The anode is positive concerning cathode with the gate open.
SCR is forward bias, junction J1 and J3 is forward bias, and J2 is reverse bias.
Here small forward leakage current flow.
If forward voltage increases then J2 junction (rev. bias) will have avalanche
breakdown called forward break over voltage (VBO)
The maximum working forward voltage across SCR does not exceed VBO. If
forward voltage < VBO; SCR offers high impedance. Hence SCR is treated as
an open switch even though it is forward blocking mode.

Forward conduction mode (on-state mode)


If we want to bring SCR from forwarding blocking mode to forward conduction

mode there are two modes:

By exceeding the forward break over voltage (VBO).

By applying gate pulse between gate and cathode.

Then SCR is in on state and behaves like a closed switch.

Learning Physics Through Simple Experiments { Stay Home And Revise Physics ( SHARP ) }

Course Description

This course will cover some basic principles of Physics and will describe them through a few simple experiments. Sometimes the phenomena will be shown first, then in order to understand and analyze it, the theory will be explained. In some cases, it will be the reverse.

Highlights

  • This will be a 24 hours course spread over a period of 2 months.
  • Each lecture will have 2-4 physics experiments followed by detailed explanations
  • Most of the experiments can be assembled and performed by even a child of age group 13 years onwards
  • The explanation part may be at the level of Plus 2 and in some cases above that
  • The course SHARP can be taken by school students of Std 9 onwards, college students, Physics teachers and others interested in enjoying Physics.

Methodology

  • To do this online course one just need a Desktop/Laptop/Tablet/Mobile phone with an internet connection
  • 3 lectures will be uploaded per week on the course website
  • Students can ask questions to Dr. H. C. Verma by texting on the mobile phone.
  • Replies can also be given by the fellow participants
