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).

What is a black hole? Do they really exist? How do they form? How are they related to stars? What would happen if you fell into one? How do you see a black hole if they emit no light? What’s the difference between a black hole and a really dark star? Could a particle accelerator create a black hole? Can a black hole also be a worm hole or a time machine? In Astro 101: Black Holes, you will explore the concepts behind black holes. Using the theme of black holes, you will learn the basic ideas of astronomy, relativity, and quantum physics.

Control of Nonlinear Spacecraft Attitude Motion (Coursera)

This course trains you in the skills needed to program specific orientation and achieve precise aiming goals for spacecraft moving through three dimensional space. First, we cover stability definitions of nonlinear dynamical systems, covering the difference between local and global stability. We then analyze and apply Lyapunov's Direct Method to prove these stability properties, and develop a nonlinear 3-axis attitude pointing control law using Lyapunov theory. Finally, we look at alternate feedback control laws and closed loop dynamics.

Fundamentals of Fluid-Solid Interactions (Coursera)

What is fluid-solid interactions ? It is what happens when the motions of a fluid and of a solid are somehow coupled. This happens all the time, around you when leaves flutter in the wind, inside you when your heart beats, above you when wings of a plane vibrate, under the sea... The idea behind this MOOC is to give you the basic tools to be able to predict and eventually mitigate things called flutter, galloping, sloshing, vortex-induced vibrations, added mass, to cite a few. We are going to consider any possible domains of applications such as civil engineering, aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering , ocean engineering, biomechanics and even food processing !
