OVERVIEW

The course will provide the students with the basic notions of electromagnetism (module 1) and circuit theory (module 2). The teachers will describe the most important phenomena in electrostatics and magnetostatics, and the functioning of the main linear electrical components, both from an electromagnetic and a behavioral viewpoint. Linear circuits will be analyzed at steady-state (stationary, sinusoidal, periodical) and during transients.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

ELECTROMAGNETISM: This part of the course provides the basic skills of electromagnetism. It aims to enable students to understand and evaluate the electromagnetic aspects that underlie the operation of the simplest electrical components and circuits.

PREREQUISITES

Basic concepts of mathematics and physics: derivatives and integrals of real functions; elementary linear differential equations; vectors, matrices, systems of algebraic equations; complex numbers; power and energy.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Module 1: the exam is oral and consists of two questions, for a total duration of half an hour. One of the questions will be theoretical and one will be focused on the resolution of an exercise.

Module 2: the exam is composed of a written and an oral test.

The score of the teaching ithe weighted average (based on the number of CFUs) of the scores obtained in the single modules. See the description in the single modules for further details.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The theoretical questions will allow to evaluate the ability to explain the most relevant aspects of electrostatics, magnetostatics and circuit theory, and the fundamental concepts that underlie the operation of the most important electrical components. The exercises will allow to evaluate the ability to solve problems in the same contexts, by applying the conceptual tools described during the lessons and by justifying the performed choices.
