OVERVIEW

The course is designed for first-year students of Electrical Engineering and Chemical Engineering. The topics relate to the classical electromagnetism from the electric field to Faraday's law, including the RL circuit. Excluded from the course are oscillating circuits,  AC circuits and electromagnetic waves.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO)

The educational objective is to provide students the ability to solve concrete problems even elementary. This implies that the student must be able to distinguish between fundamental concepts (Fields and electric and magnetic forces, work, Gauss law, Ampere, Faraday, ...) and more particular issues (elicoidal motion of charges in electromagnetic fields, cylindrical capacitors, .. .) demanding a deep understanding of the basic concepts.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

* Forces between point charges (Coulomb's law). electric field E of E through the springs calculation: superposition principle,   Gauss law. electric potential, energy of a charge in an electric field. Energy of a system of charges. Analogies with the gravitational field.
conductor properties. Capacitors. of field energy density E.
* Electric current. Ohm's law. Joule effect. Generators. Circuits in one or more meshes. Kirchhoff's laws. RC circuits.
* Definition of magnetic field B (Lorentz force). Forces on a current-carrying conductor. Torque acting on a current-covered spire. magnetic moment of a loop. Methods for determination of B produced by current: Ampere law, the law of Biot-Savart.
Flux of B through a closed surface and concatenated with a closed line. Faraday's law. Self-induction. RL circuits. of field energy density B.
