In this module the main concepts and fundamental laws of electromagnetism in vacuum are provided and various applications analysed.
The course initially discusses electric charges and fields and their applications as capacitors and resistors. Next, we will address Magnetic fields and finish with the phenomenon of induction.
None.
Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it ), the Polytechnic School's disability liaison.

The exam consists of a written test and an oral one about the whole program of General Physics (module I and II). The final grade will be the average of written and oral exam.
Students that attend the lectures can take intermediate written tests (in correspondence with the January and February exams for Modulo I and June and July exams for Modulo II). Students passing both the partial tests with a grade of at least 15/30 are directly admitted to the oral exam.
The written part of the exam consist of four problems. The first two concern the first module (mechanics), while the second two the second one (electromagnetism). The exercises aim to verify the student’s understanding of the topic as well as their problem-solving skills. The intermediate exams instead consist of two problems each.
The oral exam consists of simple problems and questions that aim at verifying the student’s knowledge about the various topics of the course.
