Course detail

The main objectives are: to provide the students with clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, and to strengthen an understanding of these concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications.

The students understand basic physical concept, laws, and processes. They are able to solve simple problems concerning these laws and processes, and can realize simple physical experiments.

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required.

Fundamentals of particle mechanics, Gravitational field, Electrostatic field, Electric charge, Coulomb's law, Gauss'law of electrostatics, Electric current, Stationary magnetic field, Biot-Savart's law, Ampere's law , Force action of the magnetic field, Nonstationary magnetic field, Faraday's induction law , Integral form of Maxwell's equations.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every.
