Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- Initiation to reasoning
- Initiation to electric circuit construction
- Learning of order of magnitudes and approximations
After completing the course the student is expected to
- Apply electrostatics laws to predict electric field, forces and potential for different symmetries.
- Apply electrokinetics laws to predict current, tension and dissipated in electric circuits.
- Apply electromagnetism laws to predict magnetic field and forces for different symmetries.
- Describe the behaviour of capacities, resitors, selfs and their combinations under stationary, transient and oscillatory regimes.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The teoretical basis are given during face-to-face lectures, in a modular form (one chapter of the reference book per lecture) and illustrated using exercices coming from the exercices book.
Practical works will consist of electrical assemblies and aim at a better understanding of the main theoretical concepts and the acquisition of a know-how (not only technical) in electricity. Students will work in groups of two, will be allowed to make errors and to work at their own rythm.
There will be no report. Evaluation will take place during a final oral examination and will be centred on understanding and reasoning rather than on memorization.
Experimental learning will be favored. In many cases, the student will be confronted to concepts that have not yet been teached during lectures. He will then have to build his own knowledge from observed exeprimental results and validate it with the teaching staff. |
