Purpose and description of the content of education:
As part of the module, students will participate in lectures with demonstrations and seminar classes. The aim of the lecture is to familiarize students with electrostatics, static current, magnetic field, alternating current, electrical and magnetic properties of matter, Maxwell's Equations and electromagnetic waves. The aim of the seminar is to acquire problem solving skills, checking the understanding of the issues discussed during the lecture.
