Part of a series of materials in the electrical engineering sequence developed under contract with the United States Office of Education, this laboratory manual provides 10 projects dealing with basic electrical instrumentation and measurement that would be appropriate for a first course. Exercises include activities involving (1) voltmeters,…

Describes a simple method for determining self-inductance of non-ferromagnetic rings. Suggests fitting the ring with an auxiliary coil and using a solenoid driven with a known frequency alternating current. Amplitude change and phase shift can be measured and used to calculate inductance. Material list, calculations, and sample results are given.…

Suggestions for the design and production of power supplies and meters for use in school physics laboratories and classrooms are provided. Details of these apparatus are given including circuit diagrams. (CW)

Describes four physics experiments including "Investigation of Box Resonances Using a Micro"; "A Direct Reading Wattmeter, DC or AC"; "Exercises in the Application of Ohm's Law"; and "Hysteresis on Gas Discharges." Discusses procedures, instrumentation, and analysis in each example. (CW)
