Amp up your understanding of
electricity and magnetism with DOZENS OF DO-IT-YOURSELF EXPERIMENTS
Electricity Experiments You Can Do At Home is a
hands-on guide that helps you master the principles of electrical
currents and magnetism.
Each of the book's three sections--direct current, alternating
current, and magnetism--begins with step-by-step instructions for
setting up your lab for the experiments that follow.
Using inexpensive, easy-to-find parts, the experiments progress
from basic to more complex and will spark ideas and encourage
inventiveness.
Expect unexpected results when you experiment with:
- Diode-based voltage reducer
- Compass-based galvanometer
- Photovoltaic illuminometer
- Utility bulb saver
- Ripple filter
- Xener-diode voltage regulator
- AC spectrum monitor
- Ampere's law with wire loop
- AC electromagnet
- Handheld wind turbine
- And dozens more projects
