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.

Re-examination after 2nd quarter.

Date of exam
The ordinary exam takes place on June 22, 2015
The re-examination takes place on August 17, 2015

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

22 lectures. 20 tutorial lessons. 9 laboratory exercises.
