| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2013 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 2 |
| Administered by: | School of Engineering |
This calculus-based subject is partly co-taught with EG1012 Electric Circuits. Physics students need only register for PH1007. Introduction to electrical signals, circuit elements, dc circuit theory, and transient response: Electrical concepts, Electrical units and calculations used to apply them; Linearity; Energy transformations in electric circuits containing resistors, capacitors and inductors. Physics topics cover special relativity, early quantum, photons and matter waves, and nuclear physics.
Learning Outcomes
- recall or recognize information, concepts, and principles of fundamental electric circuits, including the correct use of terminology and definitions;
- translate, comprehend, or interpret the information in a word problem while deciding on the relevant physics principles and diagrams necessary to solve problems in modern physics;
- select, identify, and use the appropriate data and physics principles to complete a problem or task, including the manipulation of mathematical entities to solve problems in modern physics;
- integrate and analyse experimental data using mathematical and graphical techniques in order to develop a broad array of basic skills and tools of experimental physics and data analysis.
