Course detail

Physics II

FSI-3FAcad. year: 2010/2011

The course “Physics II” familiarises students with both basic theories of classical physics (electromagnetism) and elementary quantum mechanics. The obtained knowledge is necessary for understanding of the theoretical fundamentals of modern engineering disciplines. Also dealt with are the following topics: Electromagnetism. Electrostatic field. Magnetic field. Electromagnetic field. Maxwell’s equations. Elementary quantum mechanics. Particle features of radiation and wave features of particles. Electron orbitals of an atom. Nucleus of an atom.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course enables students to apply differential, integral and vector calculus for the calculation of intensity and potential of electric and magnetic fields and of the behaviour of charged particles in these fields. The course develops their competence of abstract thinking and the competence to generalise experimental knowledge during the process of the physical-laws formulation.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of mathematics and physics used in the field of: Newton’s laws, motion of a particle in force fields, work and energy, dynamics of systems formed by particles, gravitational field, oscillations and waves, interference of waves, geometrical and wave optics, thermodynamics, heat and basic principles of thermodynamics.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Final classification reflects the result of continuous check in the form of tests in the seminars, as well as final examination containing a test, solving of tasks and an oral part.

Aims

The goal of the course is to inform students about the electromagnetic interaction and with the related processes in a vacuum and in matters, to clarify mutual relation between electric and magnetic field, the significance of the Maxwell equations and to show the relation of electromagnetism, optics and the theory of circuits.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at seminars and labs which are stated in the timetable is checked by the teacher. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher.
