FYSA1082 Experimental Physics 2: Measurement Devices and Data Collection (1–3 cr)

• Measuring techniques related to courses FYSP1040 Introduction to the theory of electricity and FYSP1050 Introduction to electromagnetism.

• Designing experiments, selection of suitable sensors and detectors, implementation and documentation of measurements.

• Gathering measurement data in various ways and assessing its reliability, effects of data collection frequency.

• Reporting of experimental research and representation of results.

• Errors and uncertainties in measurements and their propagation in calculations.

After the course student will be able to

• use basic instruments to measure physical quantities and justify instrument selection.
• plan various measurements taking advantage of physical models, different kinds of sensors, and data collection methods.
• create and interpret circuit diagrams and do electrical measurements.
• plan and implement long-term data collection, identify related problems, and manage experimental data in a secure way.
• classify sources of measurement uncertainty and present measurement result and its uncertainty.
• communicate research according to good scientific practice: written reporting of experimental setup, measurement results, and their reliability to target audience familiar with the topic.
• learn to use new devices and be open-minded even towards experiments of long duration.
• accept and account for uncertainties in measurements and their results.
