Physics and Electronics Laboratory S

obligatory courses

Classroom

The Physics and Electronics laboratory provides theoretical and practical introduction to the construction of electrical circuits build out of discrete and integrated analog and digital circuits.

The laboratory consists of laboratory sessions / introductory classes. The course is focused on construction and principle of work of electronic circuits build out of discrete and integrated analog and digital circuits.

During the course students are being introduced into the physical phenomena and trained in the interpretation of experimental data, evaluation of uncertainties and comparison with model predictions.

Program:

In the framework of the Physics and Electronics laboratory students conduct following practical exercises.

1. Filters

2. Oscillations in the RLC circuit.

3. Characteristics of germanium, silicon and Zener diode.

4. Digital integrated circuits I: gates and logical operations.

5. Digital integrated circuits II: flip-flops, counters, decoders.

6. Operational amplifiers: invering, noninverting, differential, integrating amplifieriers

7. Temperature indicator

After completion of the Laboratory students posses a knowledge about measurement techniques applied in physics. Students know how to use measuring devices (oscilloscopes, multimeters, computer controlled DAQs systems). Students know how to plan and conduct measurements. Know how to interpret experimental data and are able to perform data analysis taking into account uncertainties. Students are able to design, build and test simple electronic circuits.

Assessment form:

Attendance of the laboratory exercises is obligatory. Absence has to be justified by the relevant certificate. There will be an additional meeting foreseen for students who for justified reasons could not attend exercises.

Laboratory exercise on the Physics and Electronics laboratory will be graded by taking into account student's preparation to the lab, quality of experimental work and quality of written report from the conducted experiment.

The positive assessment of the course requires positive grades from all laboratory exercises.

The final grade from the Physics and Electronics Laboratory is an arithmetic average of the grades from laboratory exercises.
