General Information

Compulsory for: IBYI1, IBYV1
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish

Aim

The aim of the course is to give the student basic knowledge of experimental methods in physics, fluid physics and electricity. The experimental methods are used to analyse and build relations between different physical variables within all technical branches. In this course we apply the experimental methods on the fluid physics and electricity.
