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.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Guidance
Class 2 From class 2, students will rotate through and complete the 6 themes out of following seven experiments. 1. Electric resistivity Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure.
Class 3 2. Thermoelectromotive force Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure.
Class 4 3. Magnetic energy or equipotential line Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure.
Class 5 4. AC circuit and resonance Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure.
Class 6 5. Frequency characteristic of amplifier Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure.
Class 7 6. Absorption of β-ray by substance 7. Specific charge of electron or Planck constant Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Elementary Physics Experiments: Fumio Kakimoto and Kenji Ema; Tokyo Kyogakusha

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Unspecified.

Assessment criteria and methods

Learning achievement is evaluated by student’s class performance, reports, and attendance.
