Electrical Measurements in the Physics Laboratory

This book covers the basic theory of electrical circuits, describes analog and digital instrumentation, and applies modern methods to evaluate uncertainties in electrical measurements. It is comprehensive in scope and is specifically designed to meet the needs of students in physics and electrical engineering who are attending laboratory classes in electrical measurements. Among the topics addressed in individual chapters are the analysis of direct circuit currents; sources of measurement uncertainty and means of evaluating the combined effect of these various sources; direct current measurements; analysis of alternating current circuits; special circuits including resonant and bridge circuits, as well as the problem of impedance matching; alternating current measurements; the operation of analog and digital oscilloscopes; analysis of the behavior of non-sinusoidal waveforms with particular regard to circuit excitation by pulses; and the problem of the behavior of components that cannot be treated as discrete and in particular that of transmission lines. Each of the chapters is followed by a number of exercises, including some that are more demanding.
