The electrostatic self-energy of a uniformly charged ellipsoid is calculated. The ellipsoid is composed

of non-conductor. The method is to divide the thick ellipsoid into infinite thin coaxial ellipsoidal shells with the

same eccentricity ratios. The electrostatic self-energy formula for a uniformly charged ellipsoid of general shape is

obtained by considering the respective self-energy of every thin shell and interaction energy for each other.

Based on the existing optical knowledge，this paper deduces the coordinate expression of virtual image

points of chopsticks inserted obliquely at 30 degrees into the bowl full of water when one looks down from the

front and side. The three-dimensional curves of virtual image of chopsticks under various typical observation situations

are drew. It is pointed out that when one observes from the side，the virtual image of chopsticks should be a

curve even in the sense of sight. The virtual images of chopsticks observed at 30 cm visual distance and ∞ far visual

distance are compared when one looks down from the front and vertical side，the difference between them is greatest

when the angle of view is near 60 degrees. The virtual images of chopsticks seen by the left and right eyes at 30 cm

visual distance overlooking from the front and vertical sides are calculated and made，the difference between the two

images increases with the increase of visual angle. Finally，the origin of the coordinate expression of virtual image

points of chopsticks is explained，and the advantages of the analytical results are pointed out.

The effects of the area，shape，fixed angle and relative position of damping plate on the forced vibration

system of the tuning fork are studied experimentally. The experimental results have shown that the square of

the period is proportional to the area of the damping plate under the same shape. Damping plate with the same area

and different shapes have different resonance frequencies and sensitivities. The sensitivity of the rectangle is larger，

and the sensitivity of the triangle is smaller. The resonance frequency of forced vibration of the tuning fork is related

to the fixed position and the angle of the damping plate with the same shape and area. The result obtained in this research

is certain guiding to the design of tuning fork sensor.

The transmission characteristics of a magnetic coupled wireless power transfer system are analyzed

based on the magnetic coupling theory，and an experiment instrument of the resonant magnetic coupled wireless

power transfer system is developed. The transmission characteristics of the system are visually observed under the

LED load. The high frequency equivalent resistance of the transmitting coil is measured. The condition of maximum

output power and the law of frequency splitting are obtained by exploring the relations between the output power and

the signal frequency，transmission distance，or load of the system. The results indicate that the trend-skin effect of

the high frequency coil is obvious; and the higher the frequency is，the greater the equivalent resistance. The resonant

characteristics of the magnetic coupled wireless power transfer system are not only related to the transmission

signal frequency and the inherent frequency of the receiver and transmit circuit，but also linked to their coupling coefficient;

the output power as well as the transmission efficiency is maximized at the optimal full resonance. Our design

experiment instrument can be generalized to measure the stable characteristics of RLC series circuits，and operate

stably. The experimental results are consistent with the theory.

So far，it has been still necessary for obtaining the types of electrical conductivity in semiconductor

materials and many parameters obtained to use Hall effect experiment. So，Hall effect experiment is a very

important classical experiment. However，at the same time as Hall effect happens，there are a lot of side effects.

The measured value of Hall effect voltage always deviates from its real value. It results in a certain deviation of

measured parameters. In practice，the symmetrical measurement is often used to eliminate the influence of side

effects. However，there is symmetry breaking in the data columns which are measured by the symmetric measurement.

Considered the carrier's motion，the origin of symmetry breaking is gradually analyzed which is the joint action

of an electric field and a magnetic field. And magnetic field is stronger than electric field in symmetry breaking.

So that semiconductor material properties is studied.

The diffraction characteristics of terahertz waves are analyzed and explored by using different width

of diffraction screens. According to the terahertz wave diffraction characteristics，the width variation of the

diffraction screen is divided into three stages. The optical path variation and intensity distribution of the terahertz

wave are reflected by the time delay and peak amplitude parameters of the terahertz time-domain spectrum. The experiment

can be used as an extension of the knowledge of diffraction in light in class and as an example of the combination

of diffraction theory and practice in physics teaching.

The design and practice of the blending teaching method for the large-class college physics based on

SPOC in Shandong University are described. The students - centered teaching concept is the center through the

whole process. The problem-based teaching method has been used to stimulate the study initiative of the students

for the online study. With the help of the Rain Classroom，the mutual-motivation teaching is used to encourage the

class participation and to improve the students’integrative ability for the offline study. Our experience over the

years has proved that the blending teaching mode combined with traditional face-to-face teaching should effectively

improve the teaching result for the large-class college physics.

In the context of mobile internet，the combining between“rain classroom”and“divisional teaching

mode”is used in the practice of university physics experiment teaching. Hierarchical teaching of the same teaching nature

class is realized in the three dimensions before class，classroom and after class. The introduction of the rain classroom

fundamentally solves the problem of low classroom efficiency in the teaching mode of different layer-same classdifferent

method，especially for students who do not have physics in the college entrance examination. Multi-dimensional

hierarchical teaching based on rain classroom not only stimulates students' enthusiasm for learning，meets the learning

needs of students，but also realizes personalized and effective teaching and enhances teachers’sense of accomplishment.

The core concept of atomic physics is the atomic model. In all the atomic physics textbooks，

Thomson's model of atomic scattering of the alpha particle is the most basic content，but in the teaching process，

generally only starting from the classical mechanics of alpha particle scattering theory deduction，few of error transfer

and mathematical statistics knowledge were discussed. In this paper，starting from the related theory of classical mechanics

and mathematical statistics，we calculate the probability of alpha particle large angle scattering in the experiment

of Rutherford scattering experiment. In order to show that in the teaching process should strengthen，their ability

of multidisciplinary knowledge fusion is the key step to improve students'scientific research ability.
