Description:
COURSE GOALS: Acquire knowledge and understanding of the Electricity and Magnetism; acquire operational knowledge from methods used to solve problems in Electricity and Magnetism.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
1.1. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the fundamental laws of classical and modern physics;
1.2. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the most important physics theories (logical and mathematical structure, experimental support, described physical phenomena);
1.3. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of basic experimental methods, instruments and methods of experimental data processing in physics;
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
2.1. identify and describe important aspects of a particular physical phenomenon or problem;
2.2. recognize and follow the logic of arguments, evaluate the adequacy of arguments and construct well supported arguments;
2.3. use mathematical methods to solve standard physics problems;
3. MAKING JUDGMENTS
3.1. develop a critical scientific attitude towards research in general, and in particular by learning to critically evaluate arguments, assumptions, abstract concepts and data;
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
4.1. communicate effectively with pupils and colleagues;
4.2. present complex ideas clearly and concisely
4.4. use the written and oral English language communication skills that are essential for pursuing a career in physics, informatics and education;
5. LEARNING SKILLS
5.1. search for and use professional literature as well as any other sources of relevant information;
5.2. remain informed of new developments and methods in physics, informatics and education;
5.3. develop a personal sense of responsibility for their professional advancement and development;

LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
Upon passing the course on Fundamentals of Physics, the student will be able to:
* explain the concepts of electric charge, electric dipole, electric field and principle of superposition and apply them in numerical problems;
* demonstrate knowledge of the Gauss law and apply it to different charge distributions;
* explain the concepts of electric potential and apply it in numerical problems;
* explain the concept of electric capacitance and dielectric and use it in numerical examples ;
* explain the concept of electrical current, resistance and electromotive force and apply them in solving DC circuits ;
* explain the concept of magnetic field and magnetic force and appy them in numerical examples ;
* demonstrate knowledge of the sources of the magnetic field and apply them in numerical problems ;
* demonstrate knowledge of electromagnetic induction and Faraday's law and apply it in numerical problems;
* explain the concept of alternating current , inductive and capacitive resistance and apply them in solving AC circuits;
