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
