3 COURSE DESCRIPTION Course Objectives: Learning outcomes On successful completion of this course, student should be able to: Course content understanding basic laws, principles and phenomena in the area of electrical engineering, theoretical and practical preparation enabling students to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in professional and specialist courses. 1. define basic terms, values and laws in the area of electrostatics, direct currents and electromagnetism, 2. describe methods of implementing electrostatic and electromagnetic laws and phenomena in electric devices and machines design, 3. demonstrate measuring of basic electrical values on electric circuit elements 4. calculate electrical values using different methods for solving complex DC networks, 5. recommend configuration of simple circuit/assembly for the set magnetic and electrical circuit parameters, 6. select engineering approach to problem solving based on the acquired physics and mathematical knowledge. Introduction. Basic concepts of electricity. Electrostatics: Coulomb's law. Electric field. Electric flux - Gauss's law (examples of field determination). Electrostatic potential energy, electric potential and potential difference. Conductors in electrostatic field (electric influence). Dielectrics in electrostatic field (polarization, boundary conditions). Electrostatic field effects; Capacitors and capacitance. Electric force and electric energy in electrostatic field. Experiments in electrostatics-demonstration. Time-constant electric currents: Electric values. Basic laws of electric circuit - Ohm's and Kirchhoff's laws. Equivalent resistance. Basic electric circuit. Electric power, work and energy. Methods for linear DC circuit analysis - nodal and loop analysis, Thevenin, Norton and Millmann theorems, superposition, maximum power transfer theorem. Electromagnetism: Basic magnetic values and phenomena. Magnetic field intensity, flux and density in non-ferromagnetic materials - Ampere's law, Biot- Savart law and their common applications. Magnetic field effects: Electromagnetic induction (motion EMF, transformation EMF) and forces in the magnetic field (force of permanent magnet, force on an electric current in a magnetic field, force between two parallel wires, force on an electric charge moving in a magnetic field - Lorentz's force, Hall's effect). Self and mutual induction. Application of induction and forces in a magnetic field: generator, motor, transformer, cyclotron... Magnetic field in magnetic materials. Magnetic field energy. Experiments in electromagnetism- 3
