Experiments in Electricity, Magnetism, & Light + Quantum Physics Laboratory Manual for PHYS: 1512,PHYS: 1702, & PHYS: 1612

Significant revisions were made to many of the “E”, “OP”, “Q” and “S” series of experiments before the 2012-2013 academic year. These revisions were made by laboratory coordinator Anthony Moeller with feedback from TAs and lab setup crew members. Many of these changes reflect the significant advances in available technology since these series of experiments were first introduced. Some highlights of these revisions include: a new current balance experiment with amazingly precise results, an addition to the parallel plate capacitor experiment where students measure the capacitance with two dielectrics back to back, and additions to the Ohm’s Law experiment that investigate the resistivity of water and the changing resistance of a light bulb with increases in temperature.

Additionally, this manual is now available to you in full color, which should improve the usefulness of many pictures and diagrams.
