Electrical Measurements: A Laboratory Manual (Classic Reprint)

Progress in the methods of Electrical Measurement is quite as marked as in the applications of electricity. The perfecting of measuring instruments keeps pace with the demands imposed by scientific accuracy. Laboratory practice should not be permitted to lag behind discovery and commercial applications; obsolete methods may with propriety be relegated to historical collections, along with antiquated apparatus, vj so that students in electricity may learn only the latest modes of procedure. The authors of this book have proceeded on this plan in collecting and devising methods to form a )graded series of experiments for the use of several classes in electrical measurements. How well they jhave succeeded others must decide. Quantitative experiments only have been introduced, and they have been selected with the object of illustrating the general methods of measurement rather than the applications to specific departments of technical work, such as submarine cable testing, telegraphy and telephony, or dynamo electric machinery. It is thought to be better that these subjects should be treated in special handbooks. It is assumed that electrodynamometers and direct reading ammeters and voltmeters of good quality are now a part of every laboratory equipment, and methods are given for their ready calibration.
