Coupled Oscillators: Interesting Experiments for High School Students
Kodejška, C.; Lepil, O.; Sedlácková, H.
Physics Education, v53 n4 Article 045021 Jul 2018
This work deals with the experimental demonstration of coupled oscillators using simple tools in the form of mechanical coupled pendulums, magnetically coupled elastic strings or electromagnetic oscillators. For the evaluation of results the data logger Lab Quest Vernier and video analysis in the Tracker program were used. In the first part of this work, coupled mechanical oscillators of different types are shown and the data analysis by the Tracker or Vernier Logger Pro programs. The second part describes a measurement using two LC circuits with inductively or capacitive coupled electromagnetic oscillators and the obtained experimental results.
