Physics

Electrostatics: Coulomb's law, Gauss' law, electrostatic field and potential, capacitance and dielectrics. Magnetostatics: Magnetic field and forces, Biot-Savart's law, Ampere's law, and magnetic materials. Electromagnetic induction: Faraday's law, Lenz' law, inductance. Electromagnetic waves. Maxwell's equations. Waves: Mechanical waves, light, interference and diffraction.

The students are introduced to common physical phenomena, particularly within electricity and magnetism in view of technological applications.

Lectures, compulsory laboratory exercises and home exercises. 2/3 of the home exercises are compulsory. A re-sit examination may be changed from written to oral.
