I'm engaged in self-study with advanced undergraduate-level physics, currently focusing on Griffith's Electrodynamics text. I'm enjoying the problem sets in the text, but I sure would love to do some lab-work here at home. Does anyone know any good references for E&M labs or experiments?

Hi folks,

If there isn't such a resource, could someone post this fact? So far, no one has responded at all; even if there is no such source, could someone at least post that fact?

Thanks,

Chris
 
All of the physics labs I had were lame. Like making a electromagnet out of a nail and wire lame. I think a good lab, really more of a project, would be a Tesla coil. Lots can be learned from a Tesla coil.
