Students are expected to have knowledge of elementary physics, specifically in the areas of electricity and magnetism.
Compentences and Skills that will be Acquired and Learning Results:
Basic knowledge of the physical fundaments to be able to resolve problems in Engineering related to Electromagnetism- Necessary skills for the development and resolution of problems.
- Necessary skills for the mathematical tools.
- Mesearuments and experimental anlysises of magnitudes related to Electromagnetism.Description of Contents: Course Description
Coulomb law. Electric field. Gauss law. Electric potential. Conductors. Capacitors, dielectric and energy. Electric current. Magnetic forces and magnetic fields. Sources of magnetic field. Magentic materials. Faraday-Lenz law. Electric oscillations. Electromagnetic waves.
Learning Activities and Methodology:
Magister and practical teaching sessions. Also, it is necessary the attendance of students to laboratory sesions.
Assessment System:
The grade consists in 60% of the final exam and 40% of the continuum evaluation.
The attendance at laboratory sessions along with the practises delivery are obligatory in order to pass satisfactorily the subject.
The students have to obtain a remark of 3 over 10 in the final exam to make the median value of all evaluations.Basic Bibliography:
