Synopsis

Master essential physics through hands‑on experiments and clear explanations. This volume gathers foundational work in electrostatics, magnetism, and voltaic electricity, enhanced with appendices that apply Kirchhoff’s laws and explain potential and lines of force. Designed for practical use in a classroom or lab, it emphasizes approachable methods and reproducible setups.


You'll find a disciplined approach that favors simple, readily built apparatus, focused methods, and plentiful references for deeper reading. The book also offers extra exercises that guide you toward original work, with theoretical notes to support understanding where needed.



  • Concrete, beginner‑friendly experiments you can replicate in a standard physics lab.

  • Grounding in core concepts like electrostatics, magnetism, and electrical circuits.

  • Appendices that expand on key topics and connect theory to practice.

  • Guidance for independent or extended projects to foster original work.


Ideal for students studying electricity and magnetism, science‑minded hobbyists, and others building a solid foundation in practical physics.


Lessons Elementary Practical Physics, Vol. 2 offers a structured path from basic concepts to hands‑on investigation, supporting your learning at every step.

Product Description

Excerpt from Lessons Elementary Practical Physics, Vol. 2 The second volume of our work on Practical Physics is based on the same lines as those of its predecessor. We have adhered to the plan of subdivision into a series of Lessons, each descriptive of something to be done by a definite method with definite apparatus. It has been thought desirable to make the first three chapters introductory to the rest of the work. Many teachers will, we doubt not, agree with us that the advantages resulting from such a preliminary course are very considerable, for not only does the student become practically acquainted with some of the leading principles of the science, but he has also his inventive and constructive faculties developed.
