Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
We recommend carrying out the physics course offered our university to incoming students in the fields of Engineering.
By the end of this subject, students will be able to have: 1.- Know and understand the physical principles of electricity and magnetism. 2.- Apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve problems of electricity and magnetism by using established methods. 3.- Design and carry out experiments on electricity and magnetism to interpret the data and draw conclusions from them. 4.- Handle correctly the basic devices and systems of electrical measurement for data collection in electricity and magnetism practices. 5.- Select and use appropriate tools and methods to solve problems of electricity and magnetism. 6.- Combine theory and practice to solve problems of electricity and magnetism.
Description of contents: programme
Coulomb's law. Electric field. Gauss' law. Electric potential. Conductors. Capacitors, dielectrics and energy. Electric current and RC circuits. Magnetic forces and magnetic fields. Sources of magnetic field. Magnetic materials. Faraday's law of induction. LC and LRC circuits. Electrical oscillations and resonance. Maxwell's Equations. Electromagnetic Waves.
Learning activities and methodology
- Lectures, student presentations and personal work of the student. They are aimed at the acquisition of theoretical knowledge (3 ECTS credits). - Practical laboratory sessions of mandatory attendance; practical sessions for small groups, with active and direct interaction between the students and the professor; individual tutor supported sessions and students personal work. They are aimed at the acquisition of practical skill related to the syllabus of the subject (3 ECTS credits).
