Learning Outcomes

I) The objective of this UC is to provide the student with skills in the field of electromagnetism necessary for their progression of studies in this graduation and higher graduations or similar. The student must acquire individual skills to carry out experiments and theoretical analysis, as well as develop a critical sense of the subjects taught.

II) The student should understand Maxwell's equations as the basis for the laws of electromagnetism. Namely, Gauss' law applied to the electric field and the magnetic field, Faraday's and Ampere's law must be understood as being Maxwell's laws. 1)

III) You must understand the Poisson and Laplace equations as deducible from Maxwell's laws. 13)

IV) Must acquire knowledge of materials used in electromagnetic equipment and have knowledge of their electromagnetic characteristics.

V) Must understand the application of the fundamentals of electromagnetism to electromagnetic-based equipment and components. Namely, application to transformers, motors, electrical generators, capacitors, inductors and transmission lines.
