Coulomb's law. The electrostatic field. Flux and Gauss’s Law. The potential difference. Capacitance and dielectrics. Current and Power. Electromotive force. Resistance and resistors. Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws. Direct current circuits. Magnetic field, Faraday's Law and Maxwell's equations.

Course Aims:

The aims of this course are to explore the following points: 
  • Understanding and demonstration the basic concepts of electrostatic and electromagnetic theories with easy and?clear way. 
  • Applying those principles in?problem solving. 
  • Providing a good understanding of the way electrical circuits work. 
  • Providing a clear description of the basic concepts of electricity and magnetism physics which will form the base for farther engineering courses.

Course outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the student should have:
  • Demonstration of a working knowledge of laboratory skills as they relate to designing, conducting experiments, gathering data as well as analyzing  and interpreting data and comparing results to the predictions of theoretical models.
  • The ability to apply experimental principles and error calculations to electromagnetism.
  •  Demonstration of an effective written communication skills/ability by reporting and in written language the experimental data, results, and assessment of reliability
  •  Demonstration of teamwork skills and ability through laboratory experiment.
