/Fysik A för tekniskt/naturvetenskapligt basår/

For:   Bas  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 68
Rec. self-study hours: 132

  Area of Education: Science

Main field of studies: Other subjects

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): 0

Aim:
The course aim is to provide a basic knowledge of physics, adapted for continued university studies within the areas of technology and natural science. The course provides qualifications equivalent of "Fysik A". After the course, the student should be able to:
  • solve problems by choosing a method and making calcuations, and qualitatively explain phenomena in the areas:
    • mechanics
    • heat
    • electricity
    • optics
  • perform measurements and analyze the results in these areas.


    • Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
    See the admission requirements for the foundation year.

    Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
    Organisation:
    Teaching consists of lectures, problem solving and laboratory work.
    Course contents:
    • Mechanics: force, torque, equilibrium, pressure, linear motion, energy, mass, work, power, Newton's laws of motion.
    • Heat, temperature, phase transitions
    • Electricity: charge, current, voltage, resistance, electrical circuits, electrical power.
    • Optics: refraction and reflection.
