| Contents | Fundamentals of electrostatics: electrostatic force and field; electric work and potential; Gauss law; conductors and dielectrics, capacitors. Fundamentals of magnetostatics: Magnetic force on charges in motion and currents; sources of magnetic field; magnetic field produced by currents; Ampère law; Gauss law. Magnetic induction. Maxwell equations and electromagnetic waves. |
| Reference texts | Halliday, Resnick, Walker: Fundamentals of Physics. Vol II - VII Edition |
| Educational objectives | Gaining an understanding of the theoretical and experimental principles underpinning electrostatics and magnetostatics. Ability to apply the theoretical knowledge to solve simple problems and exercises. |
| Prerequisites | Basic knowledge of algebra, analytic geometry, plane trigonometry, differential and integral calculus. Having attended the First Module of the course on Classical Mechanics. |
| Teaching methods | Theoretical lectures, exercises and tutorials. |
| Other information | No further information |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of a written and, eventually, an oral exam. The result of the written test is decisive for admission to the oral test. The oral is required only if you reach a minimum result. In the case of oral examination, it is not carried out a strict arithmetic mean between the written test and oral exam. In the written test the student must demonstrate the ability to solve at least two of the three problems assigned. The time assigned to solve the problems is 2- 3 hours. |
| Extended program | Electric structure of matter. The Coulomb's law. Electrostatic field. Field line. Charge motion in an electrostatic field. Work of the electric force. Electrostatic potential and electrostatic potential energy. Calculation of fields and potentials produced by a discrete or a continuous charge distribution. Flux of the electrostatic field. The Gauss theorem, with applications and consequences. Behavior of conductors at electrostatic equilibrium. Conductors and dielectrics: capacitors. Electric conduction. Intensity of current and density of current. Magnetic interaction. Electricity and magnetism. Magnetic force on a charge in motion: the Lorentz force. Magnetic force on a conductor: second elementary Laplace law. Hall effect. Motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field. Mass spectrometer. Velocity selector. Sources of magnetic field. Magnetic field produced by a current: first elementary Laplace law; Ampère-Laplace law. Magnetic field produced by a charge in motion. Biot-Savart law. Ampère law of circuitation. Gauss law. The solenoid. Law of Faraday-Neumann. Law of Lenz. Maxwell’s Equations. Electromagnetic waves. |
