Electrical Engineering Laboratory Experiments Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Electrical Engineering Laboratory Experiments To make laboratory teaching effective, the student should be carefully supervised at the beginning of his course in order that he may learn as rapidly as possible the fundamentals of electrical testing, and use them as his tools for the more advanced work. He should then be assigned work which will require original think ing, and be required to rely more or less upon his own resources. He should be encouraged to hunt up some problem in which he is particularly interested and tackle it as a real research proposition. In this way he will unconsciously exercise his initiative and prefer to rely upon his own resources. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Laboratory Work in Electrical Engineering (Preliminary Grade): A Series of Laboratory Experiments for First and Second Year Students of Electrical Engineering The last chapter (section M) consists of a series of purely technological experiments of a miscellaneous character. The author wishes to draw special attention to the fact that almost every experiment in this and the preceding chapter is followed by an example actually worked by his own students at Blackburn. These examples, besides serving to indicate the degree of accuracy expected from an average student, will also afford considerable help to a student carrying out the experiment. For obvious reasons these practical examples are not written up quite complete. An elementary knowledge only of algebra has been assumed. The author would be glad at any time to receive and acknowledge suggestions for additional experiments for this chapter to be inserted as an appendix in a future edition. Attention is also drawn to the standard specifications in Appendix I., and to the Tables, etc., in Appendix II., which contain all the figures of reference required in the book.

Excerpt from Experimental Electrical Engineering and Manual for Electrical Testing: For Engineers and for Students in Engineering Laboratories IN preparing this book the author has aimed to produce a laboratory manual suitable for general electrical-engineering work such as is covered during the Junior and Senior years in most American colleges of engineering. The experiments described cover the principal types of electrical machinery and auxiliary devices, as well as the most impor tant commercial applications of electricity. Some knowledge of physics is assumed on the part of the student, and at least some elementary practice in a physical laboratory; but, for completeness of treatment several experiments are described recalling to the student's mind the fundamental physical laws of electricity and magnetism in their simpler practical aspects.

Excerpt from Experimental Electrical Engineering and Manual for Electrical Testing, Vol. 1: For Engineers and for Students in Engineering Laboratories In 1904 the author was called to Cornell University to equip a new laboratory in electrical engineering and to organize instruction in the testing of electrical machinery. As a result, he issued, in 1905, a pre liminary set of blueprinted laboratory notes for his students. In 1906 thme notes were enlarged and privately printed m Ithaca, N. Y. In two volumes. The First Edition of the present work, based on these notes, appeared in 1909, in one large volume; in 1910 - 11, the Second Edition was issued, in two volumes.

Excerpt from Practical Electricity: Laboratory and Lecture Course, for First Year Students of Electrical Engineering One of the great difficulties experienced by people in mastering the quantitative science of electricity, arises from the fact that we do not number an electrical sense among our other senses, and hence we have no intuitive perception of electrical phenomena. During childhood we did not have years of unconscious experimenting with electrical forces as we had with the forces connected with the sensations of heaviness and lightness, loudness and softness, heat and cold. Beyond a shock or two taken perhaps from some medical galvanic apparatus, or from a Leyden jar, our senses have never been affected by electrical action, and hence we ought to begin the study of electricity as a child begins its early education. Quite an infant has distinct ideas about hot and cold, although it may not be 'able to put its ideas into words, and yet many a student of electricity of mature years has but the haziest notions of the exact meaning of high and low potential, the electrical analogues of hot and cold. That it is desirable that students should learn physics, as they learn to ride the bicycle, by experiment ing themselves, is now generally admitted, and this is especially true in the case of electricity, since it is by experimenting, and only by experimenting, that a student can obtain such a real grasp of electricity that its laws become, so to say, a part of his nature. Hence, in the courses of electricity which I arranged at the City and Guilds of London Technical College, Finsbury, and at their Central Institution, for every hour that a student spends at lecture, he spends several in the laboratory.

Excerpt from Electricity Experimentally and Practically Applied: A Book for the Beginner and for the Practical Man, Principles, Experiments, Practical Applications and Problems Although a number of excellent works on practical electrical engineering are already in use, the author believes there is a place for a volume that will present the subject from an experimental standpoint. For many years the author has taught the subject of electrical engineering by means of experimental lectures and laboratory work to large numbers of practical men. Since these students have often lacked mathematical training, it has been nec essary to explain the subject-matter in a very simple way, showing, wherever possible, its practical features. The same method of presentation has been used in this text, and it is hoped that a much larger audience may thus be reached and benefited. This volume is particularly adapted to courses of instruction given to those engaged in actual electrical work; it should likewise prove useful as a text for high schools and for college laboratory courses.
