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).

Analyzing the Universe (Coursera)

Using publicly available data from NASA of actual satellite observations of astronomical x-ray sources, we explore some of the mysteries of the cosmos, including neutron stars, black holes, quasars and supernovae. We will analyze energy spectra and time series data to understand how these incredible objects work. We utilize an imaging tool called DS9 to explore the amazing diversity of astronomical observations that have made x-ray astronomy one of the most active and exciting fields of scientific investigation in the past 50 years.
