|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The aim of the lectures is to give the students a basic knowledge on physical electromagntism. Focus is put on an intuitive and phenomenological presentation in order to devlop some physical sense. This organisation is supposed to facilitate the access to more complete formalism during the following years of studies. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Elementary skills on mathematics and physics at the level of secondary school. Is also needed PHYS2020- Physique 1 : Mécanique |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Laboratory experiments as well as series of exercices are organized. These activities take place with smaller groups for encouraging the inter-activity. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| A total of 20h of theoretical lectures and 20h of exercices/laboratories is planned. Theoretical lecures are ex cathedra and mainly concern the explanation of fundamental concepts. During training meetings, this theoretical knowledge is applied. In both types of lessons, a special care is taken for emphasizing the role played by the different concepts in the work of engineers. Lectures are organized during both halves of the academic year. Due to technical reasons on the Faculty side, some time delay can be observed bewteen laboratory exercices and their explanation during theoretical talks. Links between the present lecture and the physical mechanics one are used ; this lecture is thus needed. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Physics for Engineers and Scientists by Serway and Jewett (available at AEES)
Laboratory notes (available at AEES)
PDF files of the different slides are freely downloadable on the internet (www.grasp.ulg.ac.be) and available via AESS. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Written evaluation on january. Theoretical concepts and exercices are asked.
Laboroatory exam is organized in june. The students are asked to re-do and explain an experimental setup presented during school time.
The oral exam (in june), mainly focus on theoretical concepts but links with exercices and labs are usually asked.
Oral exams are not organized in september.
The global notation is obtained by averaging the three different parts of the lecture except if one of the partial note is equal or below 7/20. In such a situation, only the smallest note is kept. |
