Synopsis

Chapter IV. deals with the methods of Measurement of Resistance. The importance of this subject justifies the extended treatment it has received. Chapter V. treats of the Tangent Galvanometer, its practical applications, and the methods of determining its constants. The general use of the magnetometer and dip circle of the Kew pattern at British Observatories has induced us to describe fully in Chapter VI. the manipulation of these particular instruments, and the corrections necessary for the accurate determination of the Magnetic Elements. We would especially direct attention to Chapter VII., on Electro-M agnetism and Electro-M agnetic I nduction. In this chapter the plan of giving qualitative experimental work has been extensively introduced, for we find that only by such experiments can students really grasp the meaning of such things as lines of force and their application. Chapters VIII. and IX. deal respectively with the Condenser and the Electrometer. We have supplemented the work with several A ppendices. The more important of these contain the application of Kirchhoff slaws and an elementary account of Potential and Lines of Force. An examination of this volume will show (1.

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.
