Objective
The course supplements the student’s first year’s curriculum in physics in order to provide him/her a meaningful and coherent overall view of the subject. After completing the course, the student
- realizes that information technology is based on the possibilities and restrictions provided by the laws of physics
- appreciates the key role of magnetism in storing and accessing information in electrical form
- learns the operating principles of various sensors and actuators and, with this knowledge, is able to appreciate the possibilities they provide for the interplay between a computer and its surroundings
- acquires a critical attitude towards experimental results, and learns how to estimate their reliability.
Content
- magnetic field and magnetic forces
- electromagnetic induction
- applications of magnetism
- physics of sensors
- estimation of measurement errors
- analysis and presentation of experimental results
