| Duration : | 65h Th, 20h Pr, 20h QA Sess., 20h REM |
|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|

| Holder(s) : | Laurent Dreesen |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | The experimental physics course consists of the following main parts: the motion general laws, the mechanics, the fluids, the waves, the electricity and the magnetism.
Oral teaching will be systematically completed with experimental demonstrations. |
|
| Course objective : | Physics describes the real world. Each topic will be dealt with through concrete observation and experimentation so as to lead students to the theoretical study of specific concepts and notions without ever emphasizing details. We shall focus on fundamental theoretical notions within the students¿ field of interest while providing them with the necessary prerequisite knowledge considering 2nd-year requirements. Whenever possible, the theoretical notions from the different parts of the course will be illustrated with practical applications related to relevant practical courses. |
|
| Prerequisites : | The course requires good knowledge of secondary education-level mathematics. We advise the students to attend remedial mathematics classes, which will be organized to refresh basic knowledge and bridge the gap between secondary education and first-year university courses. |
|
| Workshops : | - Practical and exercises sessions are organized in order to illustrate the theoritical courses. To get benefit from these ones, the students are strongly encouraged to read the related theoretical notions before each session.
- Laboratory notes
Such notes will be sold. Time and location will be specified later. The schedule of practical and repetition sessions will be posted on the Faculty notice boards (first floor of the Physics Building (Institut de Physique, B5).
- Exercise notes
Downloadable syllabus on Physics Department web site. |
|
| Organization : | The theoretical course will be taught in the first term.
Remedial formative assessment workshops (20 hours) will be organized in the second term for students who failed the exempting test in January. Sessions will begin in February. The schedule will be posted on the notice boards in the physics building. |
|
| Written notes : | Reference book:
Physique expérimentale (Experimental Physics)
J. KANE & M. STERHEIM, Physique, Dunod, Paris, third edition corrected by P. Ghosez, M. Hoebeke, G. Llabrès
Students are recommended to buy the book as it is used for both theoretical classes and practical sessions.
- PDF copies of course slides |
|
| Assessment : | The modalities will be explained in an official faculty paper. |
