1. Course Description
This course covers the fundamental topics of physics and basic principles that are required to
study other engineering courses. It develops the ability to identify, formulate and solve
engineering physics problems. Moreover, it enables to formulate, conduct, analyze and interpret
experiments in engineering physics through tutorials, laboratory work and self-learning
activities.
2. General Objectives
The general objectives of this course are:
- To equip the students with the fundamental concept and laws of oscillation,
electromagnetism and thermodynamics.
- To acquaint the students with waves, laser, optical fiber, quantum mechanics and
enlighten the importance of capacitor and dielectrics.
3. Methods of Instruction
Lecture, discussion, tutorials, Laboratory work and assignments
4. Contents in Detail
5. Tutorials
1. Solving the problems related to different oscillation.
2. Solving and analyzing the problems related to waves.
3. Determination of standard reverberation time for normal human ear and solving problems
related to ultra sound.
4. Determination of angle of acceptance for working of optical fiber and finding population
of atoms in different energy states.
5. Solving the problems for different combination of capacitors and finding the charging
and discharging time constant for capacitor.
6. Solving the problems related to Gauss law of electrostatics.
7. Determination of frequency of damped and undammed LC oscillation and analyzing the
relationship between electric field, magnetic field and speed of wave.
8. Solving the problems related to particle wave using Schrodinger’s wave equations.
9. Solving the problems related to thermodynamics and heat transfer.
Evaluation System
In addition to the formal exam(s), the internal evaluation of a student may consist of quizzes,
assignments, lab reports, projects, class participation, etc. The tabular presentation of the internal
evaluation is as follows.
Student Responsibilities
Each student must secure at least 45% marks in internal evaluation with 80% attendance in the
class in order to appear in the Semester End Examination. Failing to get such score will be given
NOT QUALIFIED (NQ) and the student will not be eligible to appear the Semester-End
Examinations. Students are advised to attend all the classes, formal exam, test, etc. and complete
all the assignments within the specified time period. Students are required to complete all the
requirements defined for the completion of the course.
