Course overview and goals
This course conducts elementary experiments related to electromagnetism, electric circuit.
Students confirm physical phenomena through experiments and learn experimental techniques used in physics, methods of data analyses and specifics of report preparation.
Course description and aims
By completing this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the principles and methods of experiments.
2) Efficiently use experimental apparatus.
3) Analyze experimental data.
4) Prepare clear and concise experimental reports.
Keywords
Electric resistivity, thermoelectromotive force, equipotential line
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
This course is conducted every two weeks alternately with Exercises in Physics. Students are to complete given experiments and report their results. Each student works on the experiment alone.
Course schedule/Objectives
| Course schedule | Objectives | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Guidance | |
| Class 2 | From class 2, students will rotate through and complete the following 3 experiments (themes). | Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure. |
| Class 3 | 8. Electric resistivity | Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure. |
| Class 4 | 9. Thermoelectromotive force | Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure. |

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Elementary Physics Experiments: Fumio Kakimoto and Kenji Ema; Tokyo Kyogakusha
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Unspecified.
Evaluation methods and criteria
Learning achievement is evaluated by student’s class performance, assignments, reports, and attendance.
