Modernization of Phys 141 Labs

After the successful completion of Phys 142 labs, it is only natural to move on to modernizing the Phys 141 labs. Phys 142 labs were challenging due to the complex nature of electricity and magnetism. Everyone has an intuitive sense of mechanics, nevertheless it is often difficult for students to quantify it.

In the modernized labs the drudgery of data taking and plotting is eliminated and thus the lab time is efficiently utilized for analyzing data.

The videos demonstrate a few basic aspects of the experiments. A plethora of experiments are being constructed utilizing pulleys, springs etc. The lab workbook interactive and pedagogical approach encourages students to ponder on the concepts.
