/Fysik 2 för basår/

For:   Bas  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 64
Rec. self-study hours: 149

  Area of Education: Science

Main field of studies: Other subjects

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): 0

Aim:
The aim of the course 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 to �?oFysik 2�?�.
After the course, the student should be able to:
  • Solve problems and explain phenomena in the areas mechanics,electromagnetism, wave theory and modern physics.
  • Use physical concepts and models in a mathematical form, and calculate physical quantities.
  • Perform physical experiments and analyze the results.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Physics 1 for 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.

Supplementary courses:
Physics 3 for Foundation Year

Organisation:
Teaching consists of lectures,tutorials, compulsory laboratory work. Literature study and problem solving during self study time is also part of the course.
