Laboratory

Physics laboratory

The Physics Laboratory allows students to learn and understand the fundamental laws of physics through independent measurements and the analysis of experimental results.

Classes include topics such as mechanics, elasticity, density, viscosity, optics and electricity. Students perform exercises related to determining gravitational acceleration, the coefficient of friction, Young’s modulus, moment of inertia, light wavelength, refractive index and the parameters of electrical circuits.

An important element of the education process is also learning how to process measurement results, including uncertainty analysis, the Gauss method and the least squares method.

Scope of learning

  • independent performance of measurements,
  • analysis of experimental results,
  • processing of measurement uncertainties,
  • application of the Gauss method and the least squares method,
  • development of independence and measurement accuracy.

In addition, the laboratory provides a set of exercises for independent completion, supporting the development of independence, measurement accuracy and the ability to interpret physical phenomena.

Scope of exercises

  • measurements of resistance and capacitance,
  • verification of Kirchhoff’s laws,
  • testing of linear and non-linear loads,
  • measurement of electromotive force and the internal resistance of voltage sources,
  • analysis of RLC circuits, transformers, rectifiers and electromagnetic relays.
