Publisher's Synopsis
An Elementary Course In Experimental Physics is a comprehensive textbook written by Arthur Chambers Alexander in 1897. The book is designed to provide students with a practical understanding of the fundamental principles of physics through a series of experiments. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on mechanics and the second part on electricity and magnetism. The book begins with an introduction to the scientific method and the various tools and instruments used in experimental physics. The first part of the book covers topics such as motion, force, energy, and momentum. The experiments included in this section allow students to explore the laws of motion, the principles of work and energy, and the behavior of objects under different conditions. The second part of the book focuses on electricity and magnetism. This section covers topics such as electric circuits, electromagnetic induction, and the properties of magnets. The experiments in this section allow students to explore the behavior of electric currents, the principles of electromagnetism, and the properties of magnetic fields. Throughout the book, Alexander emphasizes the importance of careful observation, accurate measurement, and logical reasoning in experimental physics. The book includes detailed instructions for each experiment, along with diagrams and illustrations to help students understand the concepts being explored. Overall, An Elementary Course In Experimental Physics is a valuable resource for students and teachers of physics, providing a practical and engaging introduction to the fundamental principles of the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
