Course detail

Proseminar in Physics II

FSI-0FRAcad. year: 2013/2014

Proseminar in physics II complements the lecture General physics II given within the frame of the speciality Physical engineering. Students taking this seminar can practise and acquire basic knowledge of electromagnetism in suitable form to be able to solve physical- and technical problems. These abilities are necessary to understand fundamentals of many technical branches.
