1 、Course description

College PhysicsExperiment A is a compulsory course for students of science and engineering.

Physics is an experimental science. The development ofphysical laws and the establishment of their theories must be based onstrict physical experiments and tested by experiments. In order to adaptto the rapid development of society, it is necessary to cultivate a largenumber of creative engineering talents. For this reason, graduates ofengineering universities are required to have not only broad basictheoretical knowledge, but also strong ability to engage in modern scientificexperiments. Physical experiment is the beginning of systematic experimentalskill training after students enter school, and it is the important foundationof a series of experimental training. Therefore, in the whole processof physics teaching, we must pay more attention to the training ofexperimental skills. Physical experiments should have the same importantposition as theoretical teaching, rather than as a subsidiary part oftheoretical courses.

2、Course objectives and requirements

On the basis of certain physics knowledge and middleschool physics experiment, the basic training of experiment methods andskills is carried out for students. Students are required to understandthe principle of the experiment and the measurement methods of some physical quantities.Students are required to be familiar with the basic principles and performanceof common instruments, and understand the used methods. The students arerequired to record and process the experimental data correctly, analyzeand judge the experimental results, and write a relatively completeexperimental report. Cultivate and improve students' ability to observe andanalyze experimental phenomena and their ability to work independently.Through observation, measurement and analysis in the experiment, we can deepenour understanding of some concepts, laws, and theories in physics.Students should be trained in a serious work style, a scientific attitudeof seeking truth from facts, and a good moral character of taking good care ofstate property and abiding by discipline.

3、Applicable major

Undergraduates of science and engineering.
