Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Environmental Monitoring (programme FPF, B1702 AplF)
• Computer Technology and its Applications (programme FPF, B1702 AplF)

Course objectives

The goal is to build a classical theory of electromagnetic field in an inductive way. The course is completed by formulation of Maxwell equations and by derivation their basic consequences.

  4. Electrostatics III - potential and energy of the electrostatic field
  5. Electrostatics IV - capacitance
  6. Electrostatics V - dielectrics
  7. Transport of electric charge I - current and resistance
  8. Transport of electric charge II - direct-current circuits and semiconductors
  9. Magnetic field I - force on moving charges
  10. Magnetic field II - sources of magnetic fields
  11. Magnetic field III - magnetic materials
  12. Electromagnetic induction I - Faraday's law of induction
  13. Electromagnetic induction II - inductance and magnetic energy
  14. Electromagnetic induction III - alternating-current circuits
  15. Maxwell's equations I - generalization and fusion of individual laws

Teacher's information

The exam is only written, and consists of four problems. The time for solution is 120 minutes. Each problem is scored with 0-5 points, the maximum of 20 points thus can be obtained. The problems are drawn from the mandatory textbook, or from the types of problems that have been addressed by the tutorials. The test result shall be graded by the points obtained according the grading table. After notification of the results any student can - in the case of his/her interest - enter for additional oral exam to modify his/her grading. In the additional oral exam one question is drawn. The answer to this question is rated by -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 points, thus, the additional oral exam then can do better, but also worse off. (Minus one point is the penalty for giving oral exam up after drawing or if it appears that student fails to know the subject.) Before the debate with the examiner the student has 5 minutes for preparation. For more information, the list of examination questions and grade tables please visit the website of the course (see section Content for link).
