Course description (Syllabus)

Theoretical part of the course

Structure of the atom. Electric charge, motion of charged particles in electric fields. Electrostatic fields, capacitors, dielectrics. Magnetic fields, magnetic induction, self induction, magnetic permeability, magnetic flux. Magnetic  circuits, permanent magnets. Electromagnetism. Electromagnetic induction, Lorentz's force, electromotive force. Electric field of flux, electric charge, Coulomb's law. Voltage and potential, electric current, electric power, thermal effects of the current. Electric power source, resistors. Electromagnetic waves, polarization, reflection, refraction, diffraction. The relation between field theory and circuit theory. Waveguides, radiation.

 

Aims and Scope

The course is design to acquire  knowledge on the electric and magnetic fields that are an essential element of electrical energy systems. The aim is to offer the student essential and extensive  knowledge in static and varying electric and magnetic fields, as well as to examine issues related to dynamic, electric currents, sources, circuit elements and electromagnetic waves.

 

Expected learning outcomes

When the course finishes the students should be in position:

• To learn subjects related to electric and magnetic fields and their relevant applications.
• To apply this knowledge to the study and analysis of electromagnetic fields' behavior and their applications.
