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.
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.

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.
Date of exam
The ordinary exam takes place on June 24, 2014
The re-examination takes place on August 20, 2014
Expected working hours
The teaching method is based on three phase model.
22 lectures. 20 tutorial lessons. 9 laboratory exercises.
