Nuffield Foundation & Institute of Physics Practical Physics is a collection of experiments that demonstrate a wide range of physical concepts and processes.

Practical Physics

These resources are for the use of teachers of physics in schools and colleges. Some of the experiments can be used as starting-points for investigations or for enhancement activities. Many have links to carefully selected further reading and all include information and guidance for technicians. Most resources have been migrated over to this website - IOPSpark - from practicalphysics.org but if you find any mistakes or missing content, please let us know via spark@iop.org.

Why use practical work in physics? Physics is a practical science. Practical Physics is part of a group of projects that include Practical Chemistry and Practical Biology. Astronomy The following collections of astronomy experiments show how science explanations can be built from careful and systematic observations. Atoms and nuclei Electric circuits and fields Energy. Apps on Physics (HTML5) Physics Animations/Simulations. Physics Simulations. HTML5 Simulations for Physics. Statistical and Thermal Physics. Welcome to Statistical and Thermal Physics, a collection of information and resources for teachers of Statistical and Thermal Physics.

Statistical and Thermal Physics

The resources in this collection are supplements to standard Statistical and Thermal Physics textbooks and include student activities, background information, and applications. New users may create an account to personalize their use of the Statistical and Thermal Physics web site. This will allow them to suggest resources, add comments, and organize resources. STP Materials The elusive chemical potential This article provides three "meanings" for the chemical potential and gives two applications to illustrate the chemical potential in action.

STP Ising 1D Program The STP 1D Ising program is a Monte Carlo simulation of a one-dimensional Ising model in equilibrium with a heat bath at temperature T using the Metropolis algorithm.

Understanding nonequilibrium systems and the consequences of irreversibility for the system’s behavior as compared to the equilibrium case, is a fundamental question in statistical physics.

New Journal of Physics

Here, we investigate two types of nonequilibrium phase transitions, a second-order and an infinite-order phase transition, in a prototypical q-state vector Potts model which is driven out of equilibrium by coupling the spins to heat baths at two different temperatures. We discuss the behavior of the quantities that are typically considered in the vicinity of (equilibrium) phase transitions, like the specific heat, and moreover investigate the behavior of the entropy production (EP), which directly quantifies the irreversibility of the process. For the second-order phase transition, we show that the universality class remains the same as in equilibrium. Physical Reference Data.
