Learning outcomes |
Provide knowledge of electromagnetism and optics, at theoretical, theoretical and practical levels, including the conduct of laboratory work.
At the end of the course the student should demonstrate knowledge of the creation of electromagnetic fields by charges and currents, actions of fields on charges, materials in the presence of static electric and magnetic fields. Have notions about transients in electrical circuits and AC circuits. Show understanding Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves and basic phenomena of optics. Learn to solve problems. Understand and know how to perform laboratory work on the subject.
