Page vii To Students No, this is not a textbook. It is a physics book all right, though ZAP! is not a bookish word. ZAP! stands rather for a memorable experience, one among many. During the term you will put together, troubleshoot, calibrate, and use for yourself some highly capable equipment. That apparatus lets you handle matter and energy on a desktop scalecharges, currents, and fieldsin a well-controlled way, emphasized now and then by a zap! from a small capacitor, or by a quick response to an unweighably small force, or by seeing a pie tin serve as a mirror for desktop microwaves. The book will help you build and study working experiments made from a kit of components, using more than a little improvisation. It is a guide to those experiments. Why Hands-on? There are several main purposes for these hands-on experiences: Abstract concepts will become more real for you, more part of the intuitive scientific understanding that you need for success in research or engineering. You will meet and become at home with the basics of electronics, today a mainstay not only of engineering and the physical sciences, but of almost every lab and shop, from doctor's office to surveyor's crew. You will begin to solve real-world problems, which are surprising, mean, and many-sided, quite unlike textbook problems. You will find yourselves becoming designers, inventors, and doers.
