RC Circuit
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate how the voltage across a capacitor varies as it charges, and to find the capacitive time constant.
Ohm's Law II
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the relationship between current and voltage in Ohmic and non-Ohmic materials.
Conservation of Energy on a Rollercoaster
In this experiment, the Law of Conservation of Energy is verified by measuring the potential and...
Physical Pendulum Period and Inertia
