Física Experimental: Eletromagnetismo (IST)

Física Experimental: Eletromagnetismo (IST)

Curso assente na obtenção e análise de dados experimentais tendo por base duas experiências de eletromagnetismo realizadas com materiais correntes e com recurso ao e-lab (laboratório remoto). O presente curso consiste numa introdução à Física Experimental onde os participantes poderão explorar a análise de dados e tratamento dos erros experimentais associados a experiências de eletromagnetismo realizadas com materiais correntes e com recurso ao e-lab (laboratório acessível remotamente), bem como técnicas numéricas de ajuste de funções aos modelos teóricos que as descrevem.

Os participantes desenvolverão competências na análise de dados experimentais e na definição de critérios para a aceitação de um modelo teórico proposto na interpretação de uma experiência de eletromagnetismo, face aos dados experimentais obtidos.

No final do curso os(as) participantes estarão aptos(as) a:

  • Utilizar algoritmos numéricos em folhas de cálculo;
  • Analisar e propagar as incertezas das medidas;
  • Controlar experiências remotas;
  • Construir uma experiência simples de óptica;
  • Compreender a relação entre corrente eléctrica e o campo magnético.

No curso serão abordados os seguintes aspetos:

  • Introdução à física experimental e seus conceitos básicos;
  • Ajustes numéricos a dados experimentais;
  • Incertezas nas grandezas derivadas;
  • A relação entre corrente elétrica e campo magnético;
  • Indução magnética;
  • Realização de uma experiência prática: Determinação do índice de refração pelo método de Pfund;
  • Realização de uma experiência remota: Variação do valor do campo magnético criado por uma bobine retangular (módulo e orientação).

Kinematics: Describing the Motions of Spacecraft (Coursera)

The movement of bodies in space (like spacecraft, satellites, and space stations) must be predicted and controlled with precision in order to ensure safety and efficacy. Kinematics is a field that develops descriptions and predictions of the motion of these bodies in 3D space. This course in Kinematics covers four major topic areas: an introduction to particle kinematics, a deep dive into rigid body kinematics in two parts (starting with classic descriptions of motion using the directional cosine matrix and Euler angles, and concluding with a review of modern descriptors like quaternions and Classical and Modified Rodrigues parameters).

Introduction to Thermodynamics: Transferring Energy from Here to There (Coursera)

This course provides an introduction to the most powerful engineering principles you will ever learn - Thermodynamics: the science of transferring energy from one place or form to another place or form. We will introduce the tools you need to analyze energy systems from solar panels, to engines, to insulated coffee mugs. More specifically, we will cover the topics of mass and energy conservation principles; first law analysis of control mass and control volume systems; properties and behavior of pure substances; and applications to thermodynamic systems operating at steady state conditions.

AstroTech: The Science and Technology behind Astronomical Discovery (Coursera)

Modern astronomy has made some astonishing discoveries - how stars burn and how black holes form; galaxies from the edge of the universe and killer rocks right next door; where the elements come from and how the expanding universe is accelerating. But how do we know all that? The truth is that astronomy would be impossible without technology, and every advance in astronomy is really an advance in technology. But the technology by itself is not enough. We have to apply it critically with a knowledge of physics to unlock the secrets of the Universe.
