Learning outcomes
This course aims to introduce the basic physical concepts regarding the classical laws of the electromagnetism and the laws governing the interactions between electromagnetic waves and matter

Program
Electrostatics. Electric charge and Coulomb's law. Electric field. Gauss theorem. Electric potential. First Maxwell's equation. Electric dipole. Conductors and electric field. Electric capacity. Condensers. Electrostatic energy. Energy density. Dielectrics. Electric current. Current density and continuity equation. Electric resistance and Ohm's law. Direct current circuits. RC circuits. Magnetic field. Ampere's theorem. Magnetic materials. Time dependent electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic induction. Energy density of the electromagnetic field. Alternating current. Electromagnetic waves. Energy and momentum of the electromagnetic waves. Fermat's principle. Reflection and refraction. Interference.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
Written examination consisting of problems concerning the topics of the course. An additional oral examination could be requested.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
In the written test, the student must demonstrate knowledge of the fundamental physical laws of electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves. The oral test will evaluate the student's ability to prove theorems and provide definitions concerning electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves and / or outline and predict the electromagnetic behavior of a generic physical system.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
Evaluation expressed by a number as follows: n/30, n>=18.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The exam consists of both a written test and an oral test weighted as follows: 80% written examination, 20% oral examination. A positive score in the written examination is necessary to pass the exam.
