Description
PHYS 210. ELECTRONICS. An introduction to electronics emphasizing those topics most useful to the experimental physicist. As such, the physics of active and passive devices (resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, sensors, etc.) will be discussed along with practical circuit applications (filters, operational amplifiers, voltage regulators, oscillators, timers, etc.). The bulk of this course is devoted to analog electronics, but digital electronics is discussed briefly at the end of the semester. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: Physics 102. Fall semester only, four hours.
