Excerpt from A Manual of Physical Measurements This manual is an outline of the laboratory experiments given in the one-year and the two-year courses in general Physics at the University of Minnesota. The laboratory work, in these courses, supplements the lectures and recitations, and occupies one two-hour period a week for two and four semesters respectively. The experiments given in a junior course of one semester in electrical measurements are also included in the section on electricity. It is taken for granted that the student has acquired a general knowledge of a subject before it is considered in the laboratory and no attempt is made in the manual at completeness in subject-matter or in explanations. The work is done under the guidance of an instructor who furnishes any additional information necessary. The student should feel that acceptable results depend upon his own ability to properly adjust the apparatus, and he alone should plan and execute the details of the experiments, subject of course to the criticism of the instructor. We here wish to thank Prof. J. Zeleny and Mr. Paul E. Klopsteg for valuable suggestions, criticisms, and assistance during the preparation of this manual.
