TEACHING THE CORRECT USE OF BASIC MEASURING INSTRUMENTS IN A NONLINEAR CONTEXT: A TRAINING SESSION ON A FLUORESCENT TUBE

Christian Eugène, Michaël Demeyere
Abstract:
In the frame of a basic course on electrical measurements, a training session teaching the correct use of measuring instruments is presented. The context is that of a fluorescent tube, a non-linear device allowing interesting mathematical developments and measuring observations. In this session, the students are asked to evaluate the pertinence of dimming the lamp in terms of luminous efficiency and pollution of the mains.
