Learning Outcomes

The student will know the quantities and units of electrostatics and DC power. The student understands electric phenomena and knows the behaviour of the most usual electrical components. S/he can calculate problems related to electrostatics, DC power, magnetism and induction. In the laboratory exercises the student learns measuring technology and learns to analyse the measurements results and their reliability. The student is also introduced to measurement and simulation software.

Student's Workload

The total amount of student's work is 81 h, which contains 32 h of contact studies. The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.

Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses

Mechanics

Coulomb's Law, electric field, electric flux, Gauss's Law, potential, polarisation, matter in electric field, electric strength, capacitance, electric current, Ohm's law, quantities and components of direct current, Kirchhoff's Law, RC circuit, thermoelectric phenomena, magnetic field, magnetic force, magnetic flux, magnetic materials, eddy currents, Gauss' s law, induction, inductance, magnetic circuit.

Mode of Delivery / Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The relevant theories of physics, together with associated problems and applications, are studied on a course of lectures. In addition, the student will individually solve a number of given homework exercises. Students will also take part in laboratory measurements. The measurements are done in groups of 3 students.

Assessment Criteria

Grade 1: The student knows those subjects of the course, which are necessary for the forthcoming studies and working life.

Grade 3: The student is well-abled to utilize the course contents.

Grade 5: The student is able to apply creatively the contents of the course.

Assessment Methods

The assessment is based on an examination (90%), homework exercises and laboratory work (10%). A student must solve at least 25 % of the given homework exercises, and (s)he must complete all the associated experiments in the laboratory of Physics.
