Physics Laboratory Experiments

This introductory laboratory manual for the calculus or non-calculus based college physics course provides a combination of "hands-on" and computer-based instruction. The text covers basic physical principles while introducing laboratory procedures, techniques, and equipment.

• Experiments include Measurement of the Earth's Magnetic Field.
• Advance Study Assignments precede each experiment to ensure that students read the experiments and are well-prepared when they come to class.
• Experimental procedures are described for different types of common laboratory apparatus.

Jerry Wilson received his physics degrees from Ohio University (B.S., Ph.D.) and Union College in Schenectady, New York (M.S.). In addition to co-writing PHYSICS LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS, he is one of the original authors of the first edition of AN INTRODUCTION OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE (published in 1971) and has several other physics textbooks to his credit. Wilson is currently Emeritus Professor of Physics at Lander University in Greenwood, South Carolina.
