Physics II (Electricity and Magnetism) 1100-1AF24
Basic information on electricity and magnetism will be presented in the lecture.
Following topics will be given a special attention:
1. Electrostatics, Coulomb law, Gauss law, a work in the field of forces, a potential, a conductor capacitance.
2. Electric field in the presence of conductors. E=0 inside a conductor, electric charges on surfaces, electric field perpendicular to the conductor surface.
3. Work in a field of forces, potential, capacitance of a conductor
4. Electric field in the presence of dielectrics. A dielectric in a parallel capacitor, vectors: E, P, D, cavities, capacitance of a capacitor with a dielectric.
5.Constant current, equation of continuity, Ohm's law, Joule' heat,
6. Kirchhoff's laws, electric circuits, electromotive force.
7. Thermoelectric effects, current in liquids, sources of an e-m force
8. Lorentz force, Ampere's force,
9. Forces acting on a conductor In magnetic field, constant current engine, Biot-Savart's law, Gauss law, Ampere's.
10. Magnetic properties of matter,
11. Microscopic description of magnetism, magnetic field of Earth
12. Alternating current, electromagnetic induction. Circuits with alternating current, inductance, mutual induction, transformer.
13. Maxwell's equations.
14. Electromagnetic waves

Assessment criteria
The assessment components are:
1. A written exam.
2. An oral exam.
The condition for being allowed to take the oral exam is passing the written exam (minimum 50% of points).
Requirements for individual grades:
- Very Good: The student explains phenomena and performs calculations flawlessly or with minor errors that do not affect the physical sense of these explanations or calculations.
- Good: The student explains the simplest phenomena and performs the simplest calculations flawlessly or with minor errors that do not affect the physical sense of these explanations or calculations; occasionally makes mistakes or is unable to carry out more complex operations in this area.
- Satisfactory: The student explains the simplest phenomena and performs the simplest calculations flawlessly or with minor errors that do not affect the physical sense of these explanations or calculations; makes mistakes or is unable to carry out more complex operations in this area.
