Course introduction
To give the student a solid basic knowledge of electromagnetic phenomena and theories.

Expected learning outcome
Upon completion of this course the student will be able to:

  • Describe mathematically expressions for a number of electric- and magnetic phenomena
  • Analyze experimental setups shown in the text or met in the laboratory course, and explain their applications, and discuss the resulting data from experiments with these setups.
  • Describe and explain the function and applications of the most common electric components used in direct-current circuits.
  • Discuss and evaluate expressions for magnetic fields, originating in electric direct currents in conductors.
  • Analyze the force of a magnetic field acting on a moving electrically charged particle.
  • Discuss the magnetic properties and behavior of different (magnetic) materials, and some typical applications of these materials.
  • Continue studies of electromagnetism in the course FY506.
Subject overview
Theoretical part:

  • Electric charge and electric fields. Coulomb’s law and Gauss’ law.
  • Electric potential energy and the electric potential.
  • Electric materials properties.
  • Capacitance and DC circuits.
  • Magnetic fields and the magnetic field of a current.
  • The Lorentz force on an electrical conductor.
  • Faraday’s law of induction.
  • Magnetic properties of materials.

Experimental part
3 experiments:

  1. Elektrical circuits
  2. Magnetic and electric fields; Faraday's law of induction
  3. Magnetic and electric forces, dipolmoments and torque
Literature

Website
This course uses e-learn (blackboard).

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
None

Assessment and marking:
(a) Labwork, pass/fail and internal marking by the teacher. The labwork, which accounts for 1 out of 5 ECTS should be passed to attend the written exam.
(b) A 4 hour written exam which counts for 4 out of 5 ECTS with external censorship and grades according to the Danish 7-point scale.

Re-examination after 2nd quarter.

Expected working hours
The teaching method is based on three phase model.

Forelæsninger (22 timer), eksaminatorier (20 timer) og laboratorieøvelser (9 timer).
