Physics II
Spring 2009
Course Syllabus
Course Overview
Modern technology is based almost entirely on achievements of electrical engineering. These, in
their turn, are the results of progress in our understanding of electrical and magnetic phenomena. The
second part of the course of physics is devoted to the formation of an integral view on the present theories
and developments of electricity and magnetism. To improve some practical skills and to illustrate important
theoretical questions, parallel laboratory sessions will be arranged.
Course goals
By the end of the 2st semester every student will/should be familiar with basic electrical and magnetic
phenomena and laws, principles of modern technological solutions, experimental technics, solving applied
problems on electricity, electric current, magnetic phenomena and electromagnetic waves properties.
