Learning Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of the course, the students will be able to comprehend and assimilate the concepts of the magnetostatic field, the electromagnetic induction, and the behavior of magnetic materials.
Specifically, the students will have acquired the following skills:
- To understand the physical meaning of various physical quantities and concepts in various practical and applied problems of the magnetostatic field and describe the form of the field and currents in respective systems.
- To perform simple calculations of the magnetostatic field in simple, model components consisting of conductors, thus approximating more complex problems of current technological practice.
- To comprehend and interpret the physical meaning of all the related field quantities and concepts in practical and applied structures concerning the development process of the induced electromotive force and the mutual flux, self and mutual inductance.
- To solve magnetic circuits with linear and nonlinear magnetic permeability.
