| Course contents :
| In this course we will deal with the following chapters : a)electricity, also included electromagnetism and b) modern physics. Here are the main topics that will be developed : 1. Electricity : electrostatics, electric current, electromagnetism (magnetic field, its sources, electromagnetic induction, alternating current) 2. Modern physics : quantum physics, atomic physics, relativistic physics 3. Celestial mechanics | |

| Course objective :
| This course deals with a part of physics. As for the other 2 parts, it aims at giving students some knowledge of the fundamental laws that govern physical phenomena as well as physical procedures used in the industry. This course constitutes a prerequisite for the advanced applied sciences courses. | |

| Prerequisites :
| SC 814 Physics II | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| Multimedia presentation supported by an excellent reference textbook (see basic bibliography) which is adopted to teaching basic science to business engineers. A power point application will cover all the course and a syllabus with the copy of the transparences will be available. The powerpoint application will be completed with numerous animations replacing lab experiments. As far as possible a real-life experiment will be presented in class. Many exercises and concept applications will ba detailed during the course. | |
