Combining Experiments and Field Simulations in a First-Year Electromagnetism Course
First-year bachelor students carry out 3D magnetic field simulations and laboratory measurements on a simple single-phase transformer as part of an introductory course on electromagnetism. The students are instructed to compare analytical, numerical and experimental results and to discuss any discrepancies between them. The integrated laboratory is successful in linking electromagnetic field theory to a hands-on example.status: publishe
