Excerpt from A Short University Course in Electricity, Sound, and Light
This book represents primarily an attempt to secure a satisfactory articulation of the laboratory and class-room phases of instruction in physics. It is an outgrowth of the conviction that in courses of intermediate grade in colleges, universities, and engineering schools a real insight into the methods of physics, and a thorough grasp of its foundation principles are not readily gained unless theory is presented in immediate connection with such concrete laboratory problems as are calculated to give the student a sound basis for intelligent theoretical work.
Nevertheless the book is intended to be much more than a laboratory manual. It represents an attempt to present a complete logical development, from the standpoint of theory as well as experiment, of the subjects indicated in the title. It is designed to occupy a half year of daily work, two hours per day, in either the freshman, sophomore, or junior years of the college or technical-school course. In the University of Chicago about one half of this time is devoted to class discussions, lecture-table demonstrations, quizzes, and problems, and the remainder to laboratory work. The course is preferably preceded by a similar course in mechanics, molecular physics, and heat, the two courses together constituting a year's work in college physics.
The method of treatment is throughout analytical rather than descriptive, although no mathematics beyond trigonometry is presupposed. It is assumed that the student has already had a beginning course in descriptive physics in the high school or elsewhere.

A Short University Course in Electricity, Sound, and Light (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of electricity, sound, and light, offering a comprehensive exploration of these fundamental forces of nature. The author, drawing upon a deep understanding of the scientific principles involved, guides readers through a logical development of these subjects, seamlessly integrating both theory and experimental observation. The book's approach reflects the scientific thought of the early 20th century, providing a detailed account of the various theories of electricity prevalent at that time. The author meticulously discusses the two-fluid theory, the one-fluid theory, and their modern modifications, offering valuable insight into the evolving understanding of electricity. The text is thoughtfully organized, starting with a discussion of magnetic and electric fields of force and moving on to the measurement of electric currents, potential difference, and resistance. The author skillfully employs illustrative examples and experiments to elucidate key concepts, demonstrating the application of these principles in a practical setting. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of experimental observation in solidifying the understanding of these fundamental forces, highlighting the need for careful observation and precise measurement in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
