The Laboratory of Electricity, Magnetism and Microwave Physics at Novosibirsk State University (NSU) provides a hands-on physics practicum that complements the university’s electrodynamics course. Its purpose is to help students connect theoretical concepts with physical experiments by reproducing key demonstrations and investigating the laws of classical electromagnetism. The program develops introductory experimental skills, familiarity with measurement instruments, practical understanding of measurement systems, and experience in statistical analysis of real data.

Laboratory work is organized into six areas: electrostatics and magnetostatics; electric currents in vacuum, gases and liquids; electrical and magnetic properties of solids; electromagnetic oscillations and signal analysis; and the penetration of electromagnetic fields into matter. The facility has been substantially modernized and uses mainly digital measuring equipment, with computers and application software supporting data collection and analysis. The laboratory offers experiment descriptions and supplementary learning resources to help students prepare, including for topics not yet covered in lectures. Its website also provides practical information such as class schedules, safety guidance, technical documentation, reference tables, literature, and details about teaching staff and laboratory equipment.
