Course details
Physics in Electrical Engineering
BPC-FYE FEKT BPC-FYE Acad. year 2023/2024 Winter semester 5 credits
The course presents physical foundations of electrical engineering, i.e. both electronic and power engineering. Students receive an overview of fundamentals of mechanics of a mass point and a rigid body, electromagnetic field theory, oscillations, waves and optics. The last lecture deals with the introduction into quantum mechanics so that the students get acquainted with the existence of quantum phenomena and the basic tools for their description.

Learning objectives
The main objectives are: to provide the students with clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, in particular those used in electrical engineering, and to strengthen an understanding of these concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications.
The students understand basic physical concepts, laws, and processes. They are able to solve simple problems concerning these laws and processes, and can realize simple physical experiments.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The secondary school knowledge and pre-intermediate knowledge of English are required.
