Aim of the course

The aim of the course is to provide students with the phenomenon of the magnetism and with the chosen effects associated with the flow of an electric current. All experiences exercised during the classes are aimed to demonstrate a close relationships between branches of physics mentioned above. An additional purpose of this course is developing a logical thinking skills among students and their creativity.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of physics and mathematics, ability of analysis and presentation of data, ability of estimating measuring uncertainties.

Scope

In frame of the course the following laboratory exercises are being conducted:

- Determination of the charge and capacity of the capacitor,

- Study of Peltier module,

- Examination of Joule's law of heating,

- Measurement of the electrical resistance, checking Ohm's law,

- Study of circumferences of the direct current (examination of Kirchoff’s laws),

- Study of transformer functioning,

- Measurement of the inductance and capacities with technical method,

- Resonance in the series and parallel circumference,

- Measuring the dielectric constant of solid materials,

- Study of relaxation oscillations,

- Measurement of the capacity of the capacitor with using Wheatstone's bridge,

- Experimental study of the electromagnetic resonances,

- Study of the vector of the magnetic induction along the axis of the solenoid with using the magnetron method,

- Study of hysteresis loops,

- Measurement of electrical power in alternating current circuits.

Teaching methods

Laboratory exercises preceded by the brief conventional or problem lecture are basing methods of teaching.
