After successful completion of the course, students are able to summarize the main physical principles of stationary solids and liquids, to explicate fundamentals of the gas theory, to describe physically flowing liquids and gases as well as to formulate the basic thermodynamic laws and to be able to apply them to some physical systems. In the exercises, the students learn to work independently on the problems and to present their results in front of small groups.
Demtröder: Experimentalphysik I chapter 6-10
Lecture with embedded experiments to demonstrate the physical laws and accompanying exercises during which physical problems related to the lecture are solved and presented by the students.
„Regular first semester students“ (students who participate in the VU „Fundamentals of Physics 1a“); your registration will be transferred automatically to Fundamentals of Physics 1b(if you agree); you don’t need to register here separately
Students whodon’t participate in the VU "Fundamentals of Physics 1a": please register in the group „Studierende, die die VU "Grundlagen der Physik 1a" nicht besuchen“ in the “Groups” tab.
You will be assigned to the small exercises groups after the registration deadline at random to ensure similar groups. Unfortunately, we cannot incorporate any special preferences.
This course is taught in German. If you want to participate in an english group, please register to the group “English preferred” under the “Groups” tab. Unfortunately, a place in an English group cannot be guaranteed. If such a group assignment is of utmost importance to you, please also write an e-mail to stefan.loeffler@tuwien.ac.at and we will see what we can do.
The performance is evaluated in two parts: the first (practical) assessment is based on weekly short tests, solved problems and active participation. The second (theoretical) assessment is based on a written exam. The results of the two parts are averaged. For a positive grade, both parts must be passed individually. Further details can be found in TUWEL.
It is possible in principle to transfer a positive assessment of the exercises part from the 2021W semester. Please contact stefan.loeffler@tuwien.ac.at before the start of the semester.
Use Group Registration to register.
