Course description and aims

This course conducts elementary experiments related to electromagnetism, electric circuit, atomic physics.

Students confirm physical phenomena through experiments and learn experimental techniques used in physics, measurements using computers, methods of data analyses and specifics of report preparation.

Student learning outcomes

By completing this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the principles and methods of experiments.
2) Efficiently use experimental apparatus.
3) Analyze experimental data.
4) Prepare clear and concise experimental reports.

Keywords

Electric resistivity, thermoelectromotive force, magnetic energy, equipotential line, AC circuit, amplifier, β-ray, specific charge of electron, Planck constant

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course is conducted every two weeks alternately with Exercises in Physics II. Students are to complete given experiments and report their results. In principle, students will work on an experiment in pairs.
