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.

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.
