Dear visitor!

 

Here you can find information about a software package:

 

Virtual Laboratory Experiments

supplemental software for course Physics 202: General Physics Laboratory

 

Electricity & Magnetism.

 

 

User Guide

 

#19-Equpotential plotting and the electric field

 

 

#20 Capacitance

 

 

#21 D.C. Circuits

 

 

#22 Frequency response

 

 

#23A Intrduction to oscilloscope

 

 

#23B AC Cicuits and resonance

 

 

#24 The current balance

 

 

#25 Ration of charge to mass for the electron

 

¨ Virtual Experiments closely model the real experiments including

 

simulation of devices

implementation steps

dynamic behavior

interactive scheme

measurement uncertainties

 

¨ Experiments accompany by a set of views emphasizing the main conceptual ideas of each topic in a transparent, interactive and user-friendly form.

 

¨ When we developed Virtual Laboratory Experiments technology our goal was to

 

deepen conceptual understanding of physical laws

assist student to self-prepare for laboratory experiments

lessen the time required for instruction before experiment

 

automate the routine aspects of calculations, data analysis and presentation

result in a more enjoyable learning experience for students

 

¨ This software package simulates the experiments completely and can be used without the necessity of lab equipment.

¨ It is an excellent tool for distance leaning

 

 

¨ Even though VLE was designed for the college level student it is easily implemented for the upper level high school physics class.

 

¨ Experiment results can be printed.

 

¨ Virtual Experiments include a set of detailing views showing physical processes on various scales of time and space usually unreachable in a real experiment.

 

¨ A laboratory manual details the objectives, apparatus, and theoretical background for each experiment, and provides step-by-step instructions.

 

¨ User Guide describes how to manipulate virtual experiments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This product is available for purchase.

 

The software package includes a manual, a user guide, and a CD.

 

Available for Windows® 95/98/2000/XP
