Overall Educational Objective Through hands-on experiments in laboratory, to acquire a solid understanding of the subjects and concepts related with the electricity and magnetics produced from static and moving charges which covered in the related Physics II course.
Course Description This laboratory course includes the topics related to electromagnetism. The laboratory experiments covered in this course are based on the measurement of current, magnetic fields and potential differences using proper tools. These tools are used for the purpose of determining some of the electrical parameters such as resistance, power, inductance and capacitance. Using magnetic field sensors, magnetic field around conductors having various geometries are measured and current-magnetic field relations are obtained. Dependence of magnetic field strength with the distance from the source is also extracted.
Course Description in Turkish Bu laboratuvar dersi elektromanyetizma ile ilgili konuları içermektedir. Bu laboratuvar da yer alan deneyler, gerekli cihazlar kullanarak akım, manyetik alan şiddeti ve potansiyel farkı ölçümleri ile yapılmaktadır. Bu cihazlar sayesinde yapılan ölçümlerden direnç, güç, indüktans ve kapasitans değerleri tayin edilir. Manyetik alan sensörleri kullanılarak yapılan ölçümlerden, farklı geometriler için akım manyetik alan şiddeti ilişkileri çıkarılmaktadır. Ayrıca, manyetik alan şiddetinin uzaklıkla nasıl değiştiği gözlenmektedir.
