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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
