After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain the principles of electrodynamics as well as the connection between electricity and magnetism, to solve simple physical problems involving electromagnetism, to use basic concepts such as the Coulomb law and the Biot Savart law, and to autonomously build physical models.
Introductory course in classical electrodynamics (Book: Demtröder 2: Chapters 1-6)
Lecture with embedded experiments to demonstrate the physical laws and accompanying exercises during which physical problems related to the lecture are solved and presented by the students.
Please register on your own for one of the groups.
In case there are substantial differences in the registration numbers for different groups at the end of the application period, the lecturers will move people around to ensure groups of similar sizes.
Exercise modalities:
The details of the exercises modalities will be presented on Thu, 7. March, 09:00 in FH HS 5.
The performance is evaluated in two parts: the first (practical) assessment is based on weekly short tests, solved problems and active participation. The second (theoretical) assessment is based on a written exam. The results of the two parts are averaged. For a positive grade, both parts must be passed individually. Further details can be found in TUWEL.
It is possible in principle to transfer a positive assessment of the exercises part from the 2022S semester. Please contact stefan.loeffler@tuwien.ac.at before the start of the semester.
Use Group Registration to register.
The course is based on the book:Demtröder, W.: Experimentalphysik 2, "Elektrizität und Optik", Springer-Verlag, 7. Auflage, 2017Having an earlier edition of the book is not a substantial disadvantage as various editions differ only slightly.
