Physical Pendulum Period and Inertia
This experiment has two parts: 1. Period of a Thin Rod explores the dependence of the period of a physical pendulum (a uniform bar) on the distance between...
Heat Engine Cycle - Wireless
A P-V diagram is generated as a heat engine is taken through a cycle. From this diagram, the heat added to the gas and the work done by the engine are...
Faraday's Law of Induction - Wireless
A voltage is induced in a coil swinging through a magnetic field. Faraday's Law and Lenz' Law are...
