Course aims

The goal of the subject is to give an overview of electromagnetism and the elementary skills in problem solving.
To give an overview of the physical picture of the world;
To support understanding the laws of physics by explaining the natural world;
To give the knowledge of laboratory work preparation and how to present test results;
Basic electromagnetism practical works, to be able to make experiments in areas related to electromagnetism (engineering studies, school, teachers, etc.);

Brief description of the course
