Anotation:

Methods of measurement of electrical quantities (voltage, current, power, frequency, resistance, capacitance, and inductance) are explained together with principles of their correct application and accuracy estimation. The course is closed by presenting information on several basic electronic measuring instruments and explaining the fundamentals of magnetic measurements and basic information concerning measurement systems.

Study targets:

To acquaint students with methods of measurement of electric, magnetic and selected physical quantities and used instruments including principles of their correct application and accuracy estimation.

Content:

The principle of measuring methods of electrical quantities (voltage, current, power, frequency, resistance, capacitance, and inductance) and magnetic measurements are explained in lectures. An integral part of lecturers is also an explanation of principles of AD and DA converters, circuits for analog processing measuring signals including selected sensors. The knowledge gains in lectures are practically verified in 17 laboratory tasks and final individual work.
