Electrical MagnetismLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

On completion of the course the student will be familiar with the phenomena of electrical magnetism, as well as the most important concepts, quantities and units used in describing them, and the most important equations describing the relationships between quantities. The student will understand how electromagnetic fields and currents can transfer power in electrical engineering applications, and what kinds of equations can be used in practical applications to describe the transferred power and the factors limiting it. The student will know how the characteristics of parts in electrotechnical systems are determined, and how to calculate the quantities of these units in technical applications by using material properties and measurement information, and is able to calculate them. The student is able to calculate the relationships of the quantities of simple electric circuits, using information about the electrotechnical properties of those devices.
