Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the tools for the understanding of electromagnetism and optics phenomena in classical physics, from the basic physical principles to the methodologies for applying the physical laws to the solution of problems. At the end of the course the student will: - have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in applied contexts of the foundations that make up the functioning of an electromagnetic physical system; - have the ability to apply the acquired knowledge and have understanding skills to model aspects of an electromagnetic physical problem or parts of a device; - know how to interpret the physical meaning of a measurement acquired with optoelectronic instruments; - have the ability to broaden the knowledge to deepen topics of electromagnetism in an autonomous way.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Basic knowledge of algebra, geometry, derivatives and integral calculus.
Physics 1.

Program

Didactic methods

Lectures with examples and exercises to better illustrate the subject. Practical demonstrations in the classroom on some basic phenomena.

Learning assessment procedures

Written test with theory questions and/or exercises such as those solved in class. The written test can be integrated with an oral exam.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

- Knowledge and understanding of the principles and physical phenomena of classical electromagnetism, of geometric and wave optics - Ability to understand problems and to formulate clear, exhaustive and synthetic solutions. - Clarity of presentation and general competence in the topic.
