Electricity and Magnetism

This module introduces physical fundamentals of electric and magnetic phenomena relevant for technical applications. It thus provides the crucial physical basis for understanding the operation of electronic devices and systems. The major topics covered are (1) : Electrostatics: electrical charge, electric field, potential and energy, capacitance (2) Stationary currents: electrical current density, Kirchhoff's laws, Ohm's law, linear circuit elements (3) Magnetostatics: magnetic fields and forces, forces on current-carrying conductors (4) Magnetic induction: motional and motionless induction, inductivity (5) Maxwell's equations.
