Physics for Electrical Engineering IT23SP (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

Five step scale

Objective

The student understands the concepts of electric field, electric potential, and voltage and is able to apply these in simple DC currents. The student knows the role of resistors, capacitors, and voltage sources as parts of a DC circuit. He/she understands the concept of magnetic field and is able to apply magnetic force in the case of a current-carrying wire and a wire loop in a magnetic field. The student knows the principle of magnetic induction in AC circuits, generators and electric motors. The student masters the basic principles of oscillations and can perform calculations for harmonic oscillations. He/she can apply the theory of oscillations for light, sound and electromagnetic radiation. The student knows the basics of rotational motion like torque, moment of inertia, and the equation of motion.

Methods of completion

In lessons the theory is presented and applied into various practical cases. There will be some examples presented by the teacher but the emphasis is on the students own effort and solving given physical problems.
