Course/Module description:
The course presents the classic physical foundations of electricity and magnetism, as well as the foundations for waves theory and basic optics.
The course opens with presenting the basic notations that have been used in electric theory (electrostatics), etc., the electric charge, electric field and electric potential, dielectric and conduction materials. The basic laws for the electric field and the potential are introduced, along presenting many quantitative examples. In the second part of the course, we proceed to electrical “dynamics”, i.e. calculating electrical currents and electrical circuits (simple and complex).
The third part of the course will focus in magnetism theory. We present the basic notations as the magnetic field, the Lorentz magnetic force, magnetic flux and para/ferromagnetism. Next, the electromagnetic induction phenomena is presented, showing the revolutional fact (at that time) that time-dependent magnetic field inducts electric field. We present the calculation of AC electric circuits, using the magnetic induction principle and the inductor.
The last part of the course focus in basic notations and phenomena in waves theory, first in mechanical waves such as waves in strings, sea and in electromagnetic waves as well. Some basic principles of both geometrical and physical optics will be presented, modeling the wave behavior of light.
In the absence of explicit lab hours in this course, the different physical phenomena will be demonstrated during the lectures by a series of demonstrations/experiments.
