Objectives
Theoretical lectures are designed toward the understanding of laws and concepts of Physics (Electromagnetism) and their application to the resolution of real problems. In laboratory classes, emphasis is given to the experimental methods of Physics, to metrology and scientific reporting.
Prerequisites
Previous approval in the following courses: Análise Matemática I and II, A.L.G.A. and Física I.
Subject matter
- Electric charge
- Electric field
- Gauss law
- Electric potential
- Capacitance
- Current and resistance
- Circuits
- magnetic field
- Magnetic fiel due to currents
- Induction and Inductance
- Magnetism of matter
Bibliography
Recomended textbook:
- "Fundamentals of Physics”, Halliday, Resnick and Walker
Other suggested textbooks:
- “Physics”, M. Alonso and E. Finn
- “Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics”, P. Tipler and G. Mosca
Teaching method
- Lectures: Concepts, demonstration and application exercise
- Laboratory sessions: Realization of experiments and analysis of the obtained result. The preparation of lab sessions is done through the mandatory execution of on-line works.
- List of Applets for virtual demonstration and experiments.
Evaluation method
There is continuous evaluation throughout the semester or a final exam at the end of the semester.
The continuous evaluation consists of two theory tests, a practical test and laboratory reports.
