Study Guide

Objective

The target of the study course is to familiarize student in the fundamentals electricity and magnetism. When course is completed, student understands the meaning of electricity and magnetism in operational principle of electrical machines and equipment.

Materials

Material to be published on the course learning platform in Itslearning
- video lectures
- course handout
- videos of demonstrations

The course is supported by a free textbook available on the OpenStax website: College Physics 2e for chapters 18-23 ( https://openstax.org/details/books/college-physics-2e= ).

Teaching methods

Independent study
Guided exercises
Laboratory work

Exam schedules

The date of the exam will be announced at the beginning of the course.

International connections

During the course, theory is discussed in lectures led by teachers, and it is recommended that theory be reviewed in advance in accordance with the instructions and links on the learning platform. During the calculation lessons, you can get help solving tasks and problems.

Student workload

The course has weekly assignments on different topics and an exam.
The student's total workload is approximately 110 hours.

Content scheduling

During the course, we will discuss the key themes of electrical physics, emphasising the perspective of energy and environmental technology.
- electrostatics
- DC circuits (direct current)
- electrical measurements
- semiconductors
- magnetism and electromagnetic induction
- AC and AC circuits (alternating current)
From these topics are focused on DC circuits, electromagnetic induction and alternating current.

Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment methods and criteria

In addition to the exam, laboratory work and small tests published on the course platform must be passed.

Passing the course requires achieving at least 40 points. The rating scale is linear as follows:

at least 40 points => 1
at least 51 points => 2
at least 62 points => 3
at least 73 points => 4
at least 84 points => 5
less than 40 points => rejected
Laboratory work does not affect the grade, but it must be completed with approval.

Assessment criteria, fail (0)

The student has a weak knowledge of the basic phenomena of Electrical Physics. The application of theories to practical situations is incomplete.
There are clear deficiencies in the knowledge and use of terminology related to electrophysics.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The student knows at least the main concepts and phenomena related to direct current and can solve quantities related to direct current circuits in simple cases. The student can examine and solve problems related to electrical power and energy.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student knows comprehensively the concepts and phenomena related to electrophysics. In addition to direct and alternating current, he also knows the key concepts and phenomena related to electric and magnetic fields and can solve related calculation tasks.
