| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE INTENDS TO GIVE THE EXPERIMENTAL OPERATIVE COMPETENCES AND A GOOD KNOWLEDGE ON THE EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD, ON ITS INTERACTION WITH THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT, AND ON THE PHENOMENOLOGY RELATED TO THE MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF THE MATTER. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS IS TO MAKE THE STUDENT ABLE TO OPERATE WITH COMPETENCE IN A LABORATORY, TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS TO SOLVE PRACTICAL EXPERIMENTAL PROBLEMS, AND TO DESIGN AND REALIZE AUTONOMOUSLY SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF PHYSICAL QUANTITIES RELATED TO THE MAGNETIC PHENOMENA. MOREOVER THE COURSE WILL GIVE A CONTRIBUTION TO REFINE THE POWERS OF OBSERVATION OF THE MAGNETIC PHENOMENA, ALSO IN THE EVERYDAY LIFE. IN PARTICULAR, DURING THE COURSE, SEVERAL EXPERIMENTAL GOALS WILL BE GIVEN, AND EACH STUDENT WILL HAVE TO REACH THEM BY SOLVING, ALSO IN CREATIVE WAY, A SERIES OF INTERMEDIATE PROBLEMS. EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE UNDER THE SUPERVISION AND THE CONTROL OF THE PROFESSOR, WHO WILL PROVIDE FOR ADDRESSING EACH SINGLE STUDENT TOWARDS THE MOST APPROPRIATE SOLUTION WHICH, HOWEVER, WILL HAVE TO BE REACHED AUTONOMOUSLY. MAKING JUDGEMENTS: THE STUDENTS ARE GUIDED BY THE PROFESSOR TO FACE, AUTONOMOUSLY, IN A CRITICAL WAY, AND WITH LOGIC AND RESPONSIBILITY, THE TARGETS OF THE VARIOUS EXPERIMENTS. HOWEVER THE ERRORS, THAT EVENTUALLY WILL BE DONE BY THE STUDENTS, WILL BE CONSIDERED AS OCCASIONS FOR DISCUSSIONS, REASONING AND LEARNING, RATHER THAN AS PENALIZATION AND DISINCENTIVE TO THE OPERATIVE AUTONOMY. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE COURSE WILL TEND TO PROMOTE THE ABILITIES OF THE STUDENT TO FACE, ANALYZE AND SOLVE A GIVEN PHYSICAL PHENOMENA CONCERNING THE MAGNETISM, AND TO EXPRESS IN A CLEAR AND RIGOROUS WAY (BY MEANS OF WRITTEN REPORTS) THE PERFORMED ANALYSIS AND THE SOLUTIONS FOUND. AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS IN A PROPER WAY THE SINGLE REALIZED EXPERIMENTS. LEARNING SKILLS AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW HOW TO FACE A SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM, EXPERIMENT AND REASONING, AND WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL STEPS TO MAKE IN ORDER TO CORRECTLY PERFORM COMPLEX EXPERIMENTS BY CONTROLLING TOTALLY THEIR PARAMETERS, AND TO COMMUNICATE IN A SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT AND RIGOROUS WAY THE RESULTS OF THOSE EXPERIMENT. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| PREREQUISITES: IT IS NECESSARY TO KNOW THE BASIC THEORY CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS, THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND THE AC AND DC MAGNETIC FIELDS, AS WELL AS THE PHYSICS RELATED TO THE GENERATION OF MAGNETIC FIELDS AND TO THEIR EFFECTS ON THE MATTER. IT IS REQUESTED TO KNOW ALSO THE EXPERIMENTAL BASIC CONCEPTS CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND THE INSTRUMENTS USED FOR THEIR ANALYSIS. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE IS ORGANISED IN 60 HOURS (6 CFU) OF LECTURES DIVIDED INTO THEORETICAL LECTURES (24 HOURS) AND EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY LECTURES (36 HOURS). IN PARTICULAR, CLASSROOM LECTURES ARE DEVOTED TO THE THEORY, MAINLY WITH THE GOAL TO REFRESH THE CONCEPTS RELATIVE TO THE MAGNETIC FIELD AND ITS EFFECT ON THE MATTER, TO LEAR SOME EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES AND THE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIALS, AND SOME PRACTICAL ADVICES ON THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE MAGNETIC FIELDS. MOREOVER THE LECTURES, WHOSE ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY BUT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, WILL BE DIRECTED TO DESCRIBE IN DETAILS THE SINGLE EXPERIENCES THAT WILL BE PERFORMED IN THE LABORATORY. THE LABORATORY LECTURES WILL GIVEN WITH THE AIM TO PERFORM THE EXECUTION OF EXPERIMENTS IN A GIVEN FIXED TIME OF 4 HOURS, HAVING THE POSSIBILITY TO USE ALL IT IS NECESSARY FOR ITS REALIZATION, AND INTERACTING IN CRITICAL AND COSTRUCTIVE WAY WITH THE PROFESSOR. AT EVERY LECTURES, WITH MANDATORY ATTENDANCE, EVERY SINGLE TABLE HOSTS A DIFFERENT EXPERIMENT. THE STUDENTS WILL REALIZE DIFFERENT EXPERIMENTS BY WORKING ON DIFFERENT TABLES EACH LECTURE. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EVALUATION WILL BE DONE BY MEANS OF A FINAL EXAM WITH MARKS EXPRESSED ON A SCALE OF 30, WHERE ALSO THE INTRA-COURSE WRITTEN REPORTS, ABOUT THE PERFORMED EXPERIMENTS, WILL BE DISCUSSED. FOR THIS REASON, IN ORDER TO PERFORM ALL THE EXPERIMENTS, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE STUDENTS FOLLOW ALL THE LECTURES. IN ORDER TO TAKE THE EXAM, THE LAST INTRA-COURSE WRITTEN REPORT MUST BE GIVEN TO THE PROFESSOR AT LEAST 15 DAYS BEFORE THE DAY OF THE EXAM. THE REPORTS WILL BE EVALUATED BY ANALYZING THE STUDENTS ABILITIES TO ORGANIZE THE EXPERIMENTS AUTONOMOUSLY AND IN A SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT WAY, TO INDIVIDUATE THE POSSIBLE SOURCES OF ERRORS OR MISINTERPRETATIONS, TO CREATE A PHYSICAL MODEL OF THE PROBLEM UNDER EXAM, TO DETERMINE THE LIMITS OF THE USED EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH, TO FIND SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE REALIZATION OF THE EXPERIMENTS, AND TO STRENGTHEN AND DEFEND THEIR OWN APPROACH BY A DEEP ANALYSIS OF THE RELATED THEORY. IF THE INTRA-COURSE WRITTEN REPORTS WILL BE CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT, WITH A MINIMUM MARK OF 18/30, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM. FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE FINAL MARK, A PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE STUDENT CAPACITY TO CORRELATE THE THEORY WITH THE EXPERIMENTS AND TO IMPROVE HIMSELF BY THE ANALYSIS OF THEIR EVENTUAL MISTAKES, AND TO THE PROGRESSES MADE DURING COURSE. FOR THE “LAUDE”, THE PROFESSOR WILL EVALUATE THE ABILITIES IN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SINGLE EXPERIMENTS IN A WAY TO INDIVIDUATE AND ELIMINATE THE POSSIBLE SOURCES OF ERRORS AND ARTIFACTS, THE CRITICAL AND SCIENTIFICALLY SOLID APPROACH TO THE ANALYSIS, ALSO WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE THEORY AND/OR OF NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS, OF THE EXPERIMENTALLY OBTAINED DATA, THE AUTONOMY DURING THE EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS, THE QUALITY OF THE ORAL DISCUSSIONS AND OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORTS, AND THE TIME TAKEN TO PRESENT TO THE PROFESSOR THE SINGLE FINAL REPORTS. |
