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.

Teaching MethodsStudents should come to the laboratory as reading their experiments beforehand. They will perform the experiment by the help of the instructor. They are obligated to bring their lab. sheets and get it signed by the instructor at the end of the lab. They will graph their results in situ.
Homework and ProjectsNo homework provided in this course
Laboratory WorkYes
Computer UseCalculator and ruler are required. Drawing their graphs with excel is suggested if the students bring notebook computer.
Other ActivitiesThe students should know the concepts of their experiments to be performed.

Course Administration

Students are expected to attend min. 80% of the labs. There are only two make-ups for the missed labs. The attendance performance is going to be reflected as 50% to the final grades. After makeups, if the student has less than 7 experiments performed, he will fail the course. The students will get 10% reduction from the attendance score for the experiment she/he misses. For instance, if a student finishes the lab. course with the min. of 7 experiments, he will receive 40% from the attendance score instead of 50%. Other 50% contribution to the final grade comes from the final exam. The students are expected to pursue in this class with honesty and integrity. Disciplinary action will be pursued in all instances if academic dishonesty and cheating has occurred. Students with disabilities should consult the instructor for their special needs.
