Part of a series of materials in the electrical engineering sequence developed under contract with the United States Office of Education, this laboratory manual provides 10 projects dealing with basic electrical instrumentation and measurement that would be appropriate for a first course. Exercises include activities involving (1) voltmeters, ammeters, (2) calibration, (3) electrical characteristics of resistive elements, (4) wheatstone bridge and resistance strain gauge, (5) the oscilloscope, (6) diodes, (7) introduction to digital computers, (8) A.C. bridge circuits, and (9) series and parallel resonance. Several appendixes contain additional information on such diverse aspects of electrical engineering as wire size, resistance color code, standard resistor values, limiting errors, AC voltmeters, resistance boxes, and safety measures.
