After this course, the student should have gained basic knowledge and experimental practice in Physics corresponding to the Physics A (100 credits) course at the Swedish secondary upper schools and Swedish national programs.

Physical quantities and units, conceptions, models and measurements. Fundamental mechanics, forces, moment and equilibrium. Energy, and work. Straight line motion. Motion with constant acceleration. Force, motion and projectile motion. Geometric optics. Light propagation, reflection and refraction, image construction and optical instruments. Fundamental electricity. Electric circuits and Kirchoff´s rules. Thermodynamics, temperature, heat and heat capacity. The laws of thermodynamics. The four forces, the universe.

The teaching is given in form of lectures and compulsory laboratory work.

There is one final written exam at the end of the course and obligatory assignments during the course. Laboratory work and laboratory reports are compulsory and have to be appproved. There can be alternative examination methods.

The course is not in credit at the study programmes. In quarter 3 and 4 the course is based on material posted in Fronter.
