TFEI60 Sensorphysics, ECTS-points
/GIVARFYSIK/

Advancement level:
B

Aim:
When measuring physical quantities sensors are used.A sensor is a device that transforms a non-electrical quantity to an electrical. Every sensor utilizes a physical phenomenon. To understand properties of different sensors requires knowledge of the physical principle that gives the electric signal.The aim of the course is to treat physical phenomena that are used in sensors. Another aim is to prepare students that intend to take the course "Measurement technology - theory and application".
