- Educational objectives
- The course represents the first and only teaching of electromagnetism and deals with the topics of electrostatics, electric currents, magnetism and electromagnetic waves.
The main objective of the course is to provide students with a basic, but not superficial, knowledge of electrical and magnetic phenomena. The main knowledge acquired will be: electrical field calculation and electrostatic potential.
Calculation of magnetic field.
Electrical circuit resolution. - Prerequisites
- Physics1, vector calculus, integrals
- Teaching methods
- The course is organized as follows: frontal lessons and exercises
- Other information
- Learning verification modality
- The exam includes a written part and an oral part. The written test consists of the solution of three or four exercises chosen to verify the achievement of the training objectives. The test lasts no more than 3 hours. The aim is to verify the ability to correctly apply theoretical knowledge to the resolution of a physics exercise.
The oral exam consists of a discussion lasting about 30 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and understanding reached by the student on the theoretical and methodological contents indicated in the program. The oral exam will also allow to verify the student's communication skills with language properties and autonomous organization of the exposition on the same theoretical topics.
