Structure and development of the course
(1) Introduction;
(2) Electrical current;
(3) Ohm's law: electrical resistance, experiments and measurements using Ohm's law;
(4) General use of Ohm's law: signal generators, circuits and measurements;
(5) Capacitors, basic principles of electricity, RC circuit and alternating experiments;
(6) Final project.
Both a practical and a theoretical approach are taken throughout each Unit.
(1) Exercises and activities to reinforce a content;
(2) Use of remote laboratory as a dynamic learning method.
(1) Course documentation in PDF, assignments and exercises;
(2) VISIR remote laboratory: to encourage students to use it in each exercise;
(3) Falstad simulator;
(4) Excel and math applications;
(5) Internet links to reinforce content.
Each subject will be assessed using a variety of methods, depending on their content:
(1) Exercises;
(2) Individual or group work with VISIR remote laboratory;
(3) Task for home: individual practice with the VISIR (comparing theoretical and real results);
(4) Test.
