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 expressions for a number of electric- and magnetic phenomena via mathematical models
  • Analyze experimental setups shown in the text or met in the laboratory course
  • 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.
  • Participate in the course FY506 Electromagnetism II.
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. Electric circuits
  2. Magnetic and electric fields; Faraday's law of induction
  3. Magnetic and electric forces, dipolmoments and torque
Literature
  • Halliday, Resnick and Krane: Physics, Volume 2, Fifth Edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.


Website
This course uses e-learn (blackboard).

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
Participation in the experimental lab-exercises is a prerequisite for participation in exam a. Pass/fail, internal evaluation by teacher.

Assessment and marking:
