Contents Theory: Chapter 1: electric charge and electric field Chapter 2: Gauss's law Chapter 3: electric potential Chapter 4: capacitance, dielectrics, electric energy storage Chapter 5: electric currents and resistance Chapter 6: DC circuits Chapter 7: magnetism Chapter 8: sources of magnetic field Chapter 9: elektromagnetic induction and Faraday's law Chapter 10: inductance, electromagnetic oscillations and AC circuits Chapter 11: Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves Exercises: Guided problem-solving Practical exercises: Set of 2 physical experiments (not necessarily related to the course content). A single experiment takes one afternoon. (Proposal) 1 Initial competences Have the ability to apply basic mathematical techniques (including derivatives and integrals) for mathematical derivations Have a sound basic knowledge on mechanics, vibrations and waves Final competences 1 Have the ability to describe and analyse electrical and magnetical phenomena 2 Have the ability to use and apply the various physics laws of electricity and 1 magnetism 3 Be able to recognise physical misconceptions in the popular media 4 Be able to set up and conduct a simple physical experiment 5 Have insight in orders of magnitude of physical quantities and measurement errors Conditions for credit contract Access to this course unit via a credit contract is determined after successful competences assessment Conditions for exam contract This course unit cannot be taken via an exam contract Teaching methods Guided self-study, lecture, practicum, lecture: plenary exercises Learning materials and price Cost: approximately 70 EUR • D.
