NECO Physics Practical Questions and Answers 2023/2024 (Complete Solution)

NECO Physics Practical Questions and Answers 2023. Many NECO candidates find it difficult to answer the NECO Practical Physics correctly due to not understanding the questions. I will show you the best way to answer NECO Physics Practical questions and make a good NECO result in your Physics examination.

You need to understand the NECO Physics Practical marking scheme before attempting any question so as to present your answers in such a way that it will look attractive to the examiner to earn you big marks.

Bear in mind that every single procedure is awarded marks. So, ensure you do not skip any step while reporting and presenting your practical results. And do not forget to remember that the units are very important.

The Physics Practical question paper will consist of three areas and general Physics questions namely:

1. Optics
2. Electricity
3. Mechanics

You will be expected to carry out an experiment, take readings and tabulate your values, plot graph, state precautions taken during the experiment, and report observations.

What you will see will not be far from the NECO Physics Specimen given to your school.

Note: Ensure you avoid parallax errors while taking your readings to get accurate results and do not forget to choose lines of best fit while plotting the graph. It is not compulsory that all the points will enter the line.

In the Teacher’s Report Form, the only place u will fill is QUESTION 3. We didn’t solve question 2. Just leave it empty.

The Resistor of the torchlight bulb is 3 ohms. If u used another person’s solution, e fit no be 3 ohms cos from the specimen, we chose to use two 1.5V dry Leclanche cell ie 1.5 + 1.5 =  3V. But someone else might decide to use 2V accumulator.

So just put 3 in Question 3 of the Teacher’s Report Form, that’s all.

Wondering how we got 3 ohms?

We used ohms law V = IR

and we used figures from specimen which Ammeter was given as 0 – 1 A

And we chose to use two dry Leclanche cell of 1.5V each (ie 3V)

So we used 1A and 3V

Ohms law V = IR

.:. R = V/I

where V = 3, I = 1

R = 3/1

R = 3 ohms
