University Physics II Lab 2126.LB1.2165 Instructor Dr. Douglas Young e-mail [email protected] Office ST 1250 Phone 432-552-2228 Office Hours Materials: * Webwork Access Code (Sold through the bookstore) * An Scientific Calculator capable of doing trig functions, scientific notation, and linear regression (does NOT need to be able to graph) Recommended (NOT Required): TI-36X Pro Course Description/Goal: A laboratory course with an emphasis on electricity, magnetism, circuits, waves, optics. The purpose of this course is to encourage students to talk about and relate the principles of physics to their surroundings. Learning Outcomes: ✔ To perform quantitative laboratory experiments exploring electricity, magnetism, circuits, waves, and optics. ✔ To learn and practice sound scientific methods, procedures, and reporting. ✔ Draw well-reasoned, logically supported conclusions from information. Students will demonstrate the ability to engage in creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information. Demonstrate effective development, interpretation, and expression of ideas through written, oral, and visual communication. Students will demonstrate the ability to apply scientific and mathematical concepts. Students will be able to manipulate and analyze numerical data or observable facts to reach informed conclusions. ✓ ✓ ✓ Students will demonstrate the ability to consider different points of view and to work effectively with others in support of a shared purpose or goal. Prerequisite: MATH 2414 Co-requisite: PHYS 2326 Policies/Procedures: ✔ Some labs will have a prelab section which should be completed before the due data assigned by the instructor. ✔ Lab reports should be handed in at the end of each lab. Students are expected to remain in lab until the end of the lab period or until they have completed the lab write-up. ✔ All lab write-ups must be approved and signed by the instructor before the student leaves lab. Any labs turned in without the instructors signature will be given a zero. ✔ It is not possible to make up missed labs. One lab report grade will be replaced with a test over topics covered in lab at the end of the semester (i.e a lab final). ✔ Students that have not missed any labs will be exempt from the lab final. All other students will take the lab final. ✔ Participation/Teamwork: Students will evaluate their contribution and the contributions of their lab partners to the completion of the lab report. Evaluations will be done using a paper evaluation system or an online system at the discretion of the instructor. ✔ Note that a separate grade will be given for the lab independent of the lecture grade. ✔ Cheating on assignments will not be tolerated. The subject of scholastic dishonesty is addressed more fully in the Student Guide, Appendix B. ✔ Grade Distribution Prelabs Teamwork/Lab Participation Rankings Lab Reports 15% 15% 70% ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Policy Students with disabilities that are admitted to The University of Texas of the Permian Basin may request reasonable accommodations and classroom modifications as addressed under Section 504/ADA regulations. Students needing assistance because of a disability must contact the Programs Assisting Student Study (PASS) Office no later than 30 days prior to the start of the semester. This information will be kept in strict confidence and has no effect on your admission to the University. List of Experiments Laboratory I: Reflection and Refraction with a Ray Box Students will investigate reflection and refraction of light from various surfaces/materials. Laboratory II: Focal Length of Lenses Students will investigate the properties of converging and diverging lenses. Laboratory III: Ray Diagrams Students will investigate the characteristic image formation from converging lenses using ray diagrams. Laboratory IV: Resistivity and Resistance Students will investigate resistance and resistivity by examining the electrical properties of PlayDough. Laboratory V: Series and Parallel Combinations of Resistors Students will investigate series and parallel combinations of resistors. Laboratory VI: Voltmeters, Ammeters, and Internal Resistance Students will investigate the differences between voltmeters and ammeters by measuring the internal resistance of these meters. Laboratory VII: Electrical Equivalent of Heat Students will investigate electrical heating using calorimetry. Laboratory VIII: The RC Time Constant – Direct Measurement Students will investigate the time needed to discharge a capacitor in an RC circuit using a voltmeter and a timer. Laboratory IX: Oscilloscope Measurements Students will investigate the fundamental principles and practical operation of the oscilloscope using signals from a function generator. Laboratory X: Oscilloscope Measurements of RC Circuits Students will investigate RC circuit charging and discharging using an oscilloscope. Laboratory XI: Magnetic Field of a Current Carrying Wire Students will investigate the magnetic field of a current carrying wire and a wire loop. Students will also build a simple electric motor. Laboratory XII 11/17: Electromagnetic Induction Students will investigate electromagnetic induction and voltage transformers.
