Learning outcomes
The result of studying the course is an understanding of the fundamental laws of electromagnetism obtained experimentally and their theoretical generalizations in the form of Maxwell's equations; knowledge of applied aspects of electromagnetism; ability to apply the basic laws of electromagnetism, both to solve tasks in all sections of the course in practical classes (part of the course) and to gain skills in the use of such laws in the performance of experimental laboratory works on electricity and magnetism; ability to solve specialized problems in professional activities or in the process of further studies.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Knowledge of the basic laws of physics, formulated in the course of general physics and the basics of quantum mechanics. Be able to apply previous knowledge of the courses of mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, basics of vector and tensor analysis, and differential equations to solve theoretical problems of the course. Posses the basic skills in conducting experimental work previously obtained in the training laboratories on the general course of physics.
Course content
1. Electricity. Electrostatics. Direct electric current and conductivity of different types of media. 2. Magnetism. The magnetic field of direct current. Electromagnetism. Introduces the electric field's basic characteristics and the laws of electrostatics, Gauss's theorem for vacuum and matter; the basic definitions and regularities are given. The magnetic interaction of electric currents in vacuum and matter is considered, the basic characteristics are introduced, and the basic laws are given. On this basis, a generalization is made - the theorems on the circulation of the vectors B and H-one of Maxwell's equations. Electromagnetic phenomena are considered, Faraday's law - one of Maxwell's equations. Based on the system of such equations, the wave equation is obtained and one of its solutions - the plane electromagnetic wave equation was obtained. The program includes practical classes on the course.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, consultations, practical classes, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. Forms of current control: assessment of homework, written and oral answers to independent tasks. The student can receive a maximum of 40 points for homework, independent assignments, and oral answers. The final semester control is conducted in the form of an exam (60 points). The exam ticket includes 2 theoretical questions (20 points each) and a task (20 points).
