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
