TB0022 Physics for Technical Preparatory Year, online with meetings on campus I 9.0 credits

• Working methods, density, forces and equilibrium, torque, pressure, Archimedes' principle, energy, mechanical work, power, general gas equation, thermodynamics, electric charge, electric energy, voltage, current, linear motion, force and motion, momentum and impulse
• Laboratory exercises

General goals

The course should promote a natural science perspective and give an understanding of basic physics concepts and relationships and give a good basis for further studies within physics and technical subjects that are included in the 3- and 5-year engineering programmes.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• Carry out, describe, analyse and present experiments to examine physical phenomena which are discussed in the course.
• Apply basic physics models and concepts to identify, analyse and solve physics problems within the scope of the course content and report the solutions in a structured way.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory work, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TENA - Written exam, 7.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

During the course, approved oral and/or written presentations of selected assignments may be required

For final grade, it is required that all examination items are passed.

Per Ahlén
