Physics III
Summary
The students understand and apply the physics of fluids, and the basics of electromagnetism and electronic schemes
Content
Physics of fluids
Fluid kinematics, Navier-Stokes equation; perfect fluid dynamics; incompressible viscous fluid dynamics; eddies; flow stability; Reynolds number; transition to turbulence
Electromagnetism
Electrostatics, electric field and potential; stationary electrical currents; RCL circuits; magnetostatics; electric and magnetic fields in matter; polarization and magnetization; time-dependent electromagnetic field; Faraday's law; Maxwell's equations; electromagnetic energy;Poynting vector; Hertz dipole.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Formulate simplifying hypotheses of a model of a physical phenomenon
- Solve problems and applications of the treated material
- Critique the results of a model of a physical phenomenon
- Apply developed physical models to problem and application solving
