Learning Outcomes
In brief, the understanding of the physical quantities, properties and methods of the electrostatic field and the steady state current flow field as well as the behavior of materials in their presence, based on the macroscopic model of classical electromagnetism.
More specifically:
1. Description of electrostatic field sources and their physical interpretation. Comprehension and assimilation of electrostatic field fundamentals. Familiarization with the macroscopic model and the behavior of perfect conductors and perfect dielectrics (insulators) in the electrostatic field.
2. Comprehension of point, differential, and integral quantities in conjunction with the laws of the electrostatic field.
3. Description of steady state current flow field sources and their physical interpretation.
4. Foundation, proof and assimilation of the fundamental quantities and properties of the steady state current flow field.
5. Investigation of the model and operating principles of ideal grounded electrodes configurations and the movement of charged particles in the electrostatic field.
