ELECTRICITY EXPERIMENTS YOU CAN DO AT HOME

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. Electricity Experiments You Can Do At Home helps you to: solve circuit problems in electricity; build practical and interesting electrical and magnetic devices; get ideas for science-fair projects; prepare for advanced courses in electricity and electronics; and, learn the basics of laboratory practice.
