The course is the basis of other courses related to the Science of Engineering and Electromagnetism. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have the opportunity to: • extract the equations that determine the change in interval, velocity and acceleration in three-dimensional motions of material points, • extract the equations of motion of a material point in space, • apply the principles of conservation of momentum and energy, • calculate the moment of inertia of simple and complex mass distributions, • calculate the angular momentum of simple and complex mass distributions, • calculate the electrostatic forces of point and charge distributions in plane and space, • calculate the intensity of the electrostatic field, • apply Gausss law on load distributions, • calculate the potential difference, • calculate the equivalent wiring capacity of capacitors with and without dielectrics, • apply the law of Ohm, • calculate the current intensity and potential difference in complex linear electrical circuits, • apply Kirckoffs rules; • calculate the magnetic field of moving electric charges, • calculate the current intensity and difference. | |
