This lecture covers various experiments related to forces, including viscous friction, deflection of an electron beam in magnetic and electric fields, dry rubbing, and the relationship between stall force and sliding force. The instructor explains the setup of a cathode ray tube, the impact of electric fields on electron beams, and the calculation of acceleration voltage. Additionally, the lecture explores the behavior of electron beams in magnetic fields and the effects of different field configurations. Practical demonstrations illustrate concepts such as the stall force in dry friction and the behavior of springs under continuous traction.
