Features: This book is compiled based on the "Basic Requirements for Physics Experiment Teaching in Higher Industrial Schools," with a novel concept. It highlights the measurement of physical quantities by first introducing fundamental knowledge such as uncertainty and measurement error handling, as well as the use of some common instruments. Subsequently, it is divided into chapters to explain the measurement of mechanical quantities, thermal quantities, electromagnetic quantities, optical quantities, and the measurement of physical quantities in modern physics. At the end, it includes some experiments with comprehensive and design-oriented physical quantity measurements. The appendices provide tables of commonly used physical quantities. The book lists 67 experiments of different levels, offering relatively comprehensive content. It emphasizes the cultivation of students' basic measurement skills and the development of scientific concepts and behaviors. This book can serve as a physics experiment textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in various disciplines of higher industrial schools, as well as for students in science and engineering. It is also suitable for use or reference in adult education institutions, correspondence universities, and workers' universities.
