The course of “electricity and magnetism” is introducing fundamental aspects of flow and behavior of  charges and basic concepts of  the strength of electrical and magnetical interaction of particle with objects around it, and certain aspects of electronics. It is widely used in the design of different circuits in industry,  The course objectives are to enable students about the ideas of electric field, electric potential, capacitor, resistance, magnetic field, and some concepts of basic electronics. To get a deeper inside and understanding in to the laws of electricity and magnetism, and energy conservation. Students will learn properties and applications of electricity and magnetism as well as electronics.

Learning Outcomes:

To enable students to:

  • Understand the origin of  “electricity and magnetism”.
  • The basic laws of “electricity and magnetism” and "electronics".
  • The applications of laws controlling the current phenomena.
  • Understand analyses and design the circuits, various devices and components working on the basis of charge flow.
