Course description and aims

Students in Department of Materials Science and Engineering will understand fundamentals of electromagnetism and electric and electronic circuits to study related materials. This course facilitates students' understanding of electric and electronic materials such as dielectric and magnetic materials as well as electrochemical devices such as batteries and sensors.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) understand electromagnetism, and electric and electronic circuits as a fundamental physics, and acquire how to calculate and solve the related problems,
2) explain physical phenomena related to electric and magnetic fields, and functions of capacitors and inductors in the concept of electromagnetism.

Keywords
