Overview

This course aims to familiarize the student with the relationship between electricity and magnetism and link them to their applications during daily life by covering a range of topics such as magnetic field and force, Faraday's law, magnetic induction, Maxwell's equations, alternating current, reciprocal induction and Coupled circuits.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of this course, the student will be able to:1- Distinguish between electric and magnetic fields.2- The magnetic field of a solenoid - the magnetic flux - explains Gauss's law in magnetism.3- Analyze the physical cases and phenomena related to the fundamental laws of magnetism and alternating current circuits.4- Distinguish between AC, RCL, and resonance circuits.5- Draw the oscillations in the LC and RLC circuits.6- Compare the coupled circuits and how to apply them. 7- It connects the movement of a wire in a magnetic field and generates a current, as in a dynamo.
