Abstract

This paper presents research findings on the development of experimental apparatuses that can connect to smart devices for investigating harmonic oscillation, circular motion, Faraday’s constant, and the elementary charge. In addition, the experimental results are displayed continuously in real time through Wi-Fi signal transmission using a microcontroller integrated with the Blynk App 2.0. These apparatuses demonstrate high precision and validation capability, with discrepancies between experimental and theoretical results of less than 2.5%. The apparatuses effectively support teachers and students in teaching and learning Physics in the high school curriculum under the 2018 General Education Curriculum, thereby helping enhance students’ physics competencies.
