Course Objectives The main objective of this course is to teach students the fundamentals of electromagnetics together with its practical applications.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • calculate the electric field, emerging due to the existence of electric charge, using the relationship between the charge and flux.
  • define the electric potential and the electric potential energy.
  • explain how the capacitors store energy in electric fields.
  • analyze current and resistance in electric circuits.
  • determine the relation between the magnetic field and the magnetic force.
  • utilize Faraday's law to calculate induction voltages and currents.
  • use experimental setups to collect and analyze data.
Course Description In this course, we will cover the topics of electric field and charge, Gauss’s law, electric potential, capacitance and dielectrics, current, resistance and electromotive force, direct-current circuits, magnetic field and magnetic field sources and induction.
