Lectures
Direct current. Basic concepts and terms. Unbranched circuits: Ohm's law,
voltage drops in closed circuits, serial connection of resistances. Branched
circuits: Kirchhoff's law, parallel connection of resistances. Ways of
connecting power sources. Electric work and power - Joul's law.
Magnetic field. The magnetic field of an electrical current: the intensity of the
magnetic field, magnetic induction, magnetic flux, magnetic permeability. The
magnetic field in the iron. The energy of the magnetic field.
Electric field. The intensity of the electric field, dielectric permittivity.
Capacitors - capacitance, serial and parallel connections of capacitors.
Electrical induction. Energy of the electric field.
Alternating current. Basic concepts and terms. Period and frequency of the
sinusoidal current. Complex numbers: forms of the complex numbers,
operations on complex numbers, complex plane. The phasor diagrams of the
sinusoidal values. Average and root-mean-square value of the current.
Unbranched circuits for the sinusoidal current (with resistance, inductance,
capacitance, with a serial connection of resistance and inductance, with a
serial connection of resistance and capacitance, with a serial connection of
resistance, inductance and capacitance). Electric work and power.
