Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Understanding of the concepts in electromagnetics: electric and magnetic fields, charges, currents, forces, energies, radiation, static and dynamic fields. Ability to solve quantitatively problems involving electromagnetic sources; to compute fields created by charges and currents in a given environment in basic geometrical constellations. Ability to connect, on a basic level, the mathematical description of electromagnetism into electrical engineering applications light phenomena of everyday life.
