Physics II Lab ENGI 1106

Course description:

Physics II Laboratory includes experiments on measurement, electricity, magnetism and light.

Course Aims:

The aims of this course are to explore the following points:
  •  Identifying the main components of electrical and magnetic circuit.
  •  Teaching the students how to operate basic electrical measuring instruments such as ammeter and voltmeter, to use an analog multimeter, a digital multimeter, and an ohmmeter.
  •  Assessing the precision of each of these measuring instruments.
  •  Setting up a simple oneloop DC circuit and measure some of its characteristics.

Course outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the student should have:
  •  Demonstration of a working knowledge of laboratory skills as they relate to designing, conducting experiments, gathering data as well as analyzing and interpreting data and comparing results to the predictions of theoretical models.
  •  The ability to apply experimental principles and error calculations to electromagnetism.
  •  Demonstration of an effective written communication skills/ability by reporting and in written language the experimental data, results, and assessment of reliability.
  •  Demonstration of teamwork skills and ability through laboratory experiment.
