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).

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 !

Physics of silicon solar cells (Coursera)

The first MOOC “Photovoltaic solar energy” is a general presentation of the solar photovoltaics technologies in the global energetic context, without extensive details. In particular the description of the solar cell operation is restricted to the ideal case. In contrast this second MOOC allows a deep understanding of the properties of solar cells based on crystalline semiconductors.

This course gives you access to basic tools and concepts to understand research articles and books on modern quantum optics. You will learn about quantization of light, formalism to describe quantum states of light without any classical analogue, and observables allowing one to demonstrate typical quantum properties of these states. These tools will be applied to the emblematic case of a one-photon wave packet, which behaves both as a particle and a wave.
