L.EIC013 – Physics II

I taught this course between 2007 e 2021. When the Masters Program in Informatics and Computing Engineering started in 2006 this course had the code "EIC0014 $ndash; Physics II". When the Masters Program was replaced by a Bachelors Program in 2021, the code was changed to "L.EIC013 – Physics II" and the number of teaching hours was reduced; to compensate that reduction, the last two items in the program were no longer taught.

Objectives

To provide basic knowledge on electromagnetism and signal processing. After you attend this course you should be able to analyze simple electric circuits explaining how they work, identify electromagnetic phenomena in your daily experience, use physical principles to explain how electric devices work and evaluate different electrical devices with similar functions pointing out their advantages and disadvantages.

Program

1. Electric force. Electrostatics.
2. Electric current. Potential. Electromotive force. Resistance.
3. Electric capacity. Capacitors. Electrostatic energy.
4. Direct-current circuits.
5. Electric field and potential. Electric flux.
6. Magnetic force. Magnetic field. Torque and magnetic moment.
7. Electromagnetic induction. Inductance. Self-inductance.
8. Signal processing. Transfer function. Generalized impedance.
9. Alternating-current circuits. Fasors. Complex impedance. Response function.
