Synopsis

Explore how electromotive force and magnetic fields are measured with real lab setups. This book translates theory into hands-on experiments you can perform, from rotating coils in a uniform field to measuring light and dielectric properties. It covers practical experiments that show how magnetic effects, electricity, and optics are interconnected in physical measurements.

The text presents clear procedures, diagrammed steps, and questions that reinforce understanding. You’ll learn to set up apparatus, collect data, and compute key quantities using standard units and practical techniques found in a physics laboratory.

- Build and analyze an earth-inductor coil to measure induced EMF and the directions of current as the coil moves in a magnetic field.
- Measure magnetic fields between pole pieces of a permanent magnet and deduce magnetization and related quantities.
- Determine the specific inductive capacity of different dielectrics by comparing capacitor behavior with fixed plates.
- Use photometric methods to compare light sources, measure candle-power, and understand light intensity relationships.

Ideal for students of physics and engineering who want to connect theoretical concepts with real experimental practices. This edition is well suited for lab courses or independent study in electricity, magnetism, and optics.

Product Description

Excerpt from Physical Measurements in Sound: Light, Electricity and Magnetism

The writer is in the habit of giving an opportunity for special work to students who may become interested in any special problem after they have performed in a satisfactory manner the most fundamental experiments in the course. Such students are furnished with the necessary apparatus so far as the resources of the laboratory permit.
