L2 Laboratory room in SP2

The laboratories located in SP2, room 304 are intended for groups L2. These laboratories do not carry out scientific research; they are exclusively intended for teaching and visualizing theoretical knowledge. Some electronics related research can also be done in this lab, as conductivity of materials, volt-ampere characterization of thin films, diode structures etc..

In L2, UFAZ students have 8 practical work sessions in the physics laboratory.

  1. POHL'S PENDULUM: In this PW, students learn how to estimate the oscillating period and the characteristic frequency in free and forced oscillations.

The main goal of thins section is to determine the resonance curves and represent them graphically for different values of the damping coefficient.

The main purpose of this work is to study with a load and determination of the yield of the transformer.
  4. NEGATIVE RESISTANCE AND “RLC” CIRCUIT: In this first part of this PW, the main problem with naturally oscillating systems is that the amplitude of their oscillation decrease along time. This is due to losses of energy that occur in the system (friction, turbulence, Joule effect,...). In our case, the energy is lost due to Joule effect. Electromagnetic energy is progressively transformed into heat that cannot be recovered by the circuit. In order to counteract this effect, we need to "decrease" the resistance of the circuit. For that we will introduce what we call a negative resistance.

In the second part of this PW, RLC circuits are well known circuit showing resonance. This behavior is present in numbers of different systems but easier to quantify in this special one. The purpose of the following study is then to characterize such circuits and use their properties to realize oscillators.
