REMOTELY CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT: COMPARISON OF VOLT-AMPERE CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN INCANDESCENT AND ENERGY SAVING LIGHT BULB

The paper deals with the remotely controlled physical experiment which is located at the Department of Experimental Physics at Palacky University in Olomouc. A remote experiment is a real experiment with real laboratory instruments and equipment that can be controlled by a teacher or a student or any user from their computer through the Internet. The article presents our first remote experiment (comparison of volt-ampere characteristics between incandescent light bulb and energy saving light bulb with using AC) which is available free on-line on the website http://www.ictphysics.upol.cz/remotelab/. This paper outlines our current research and reflection of remotely controlled experiments and it describes the educational point of view of the remotely controlled system.
