Laboratory Experiments Developed:
(1) Magnetic Field of a Solenoid – A Magnetic Field Sensor is used to determine the relationship between the magnetic field intensity within the interior of a solenoid and (1) the number of turns (2) the current flowing through the solenoid. |
(2) Simple Harmonic Motion – An accelerometer is used to verify properties of a mass-spring system undergoing harmonic motion. |
(3) Damped Vibrations – An accelerometer is used to verify properties of a damped mass-spring system. The system’s damping coefficient is determined experimentally. |
(4) Static and Kinetic Friction – A force sensor is used to determine the coefficient of static friction. An ultrasonic sensor is then used to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction. |
