The subject is taught in programs

Electrical engineering 1st level

Objectives and competences

To acquire fundamental knowledge on magnetic field, induced field as well as AC electric circuits, three phase systems and transient circuit analysis. The acquired knowledge serves as a basis for further electrotechnical studies.

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures are used to teach students the basic theory of electrical engineering from the course Content and use additional practical examples to elaborate on it. In lectures also demonstration experiments are used together with computer animations. Some computer tools are presented that are used in computation and visualization of electric fields.

At the tutorials (exercises) the students elaborate further the problems by solving specific tasks / cases with analytical solutions.

Laboratory exercises include preparations where students get acquainted with work to be performed in a laboratory, homework, where students independently solve the pre-prepared case and additional literature studies and experimental work in the laboratory, where they prepare experiments according to the instructions and describe the experimental results

Expected study results

After successfully passed exam the student should be able to:

Be acquainted with basic quantities used to describe magnetic phenomena, transient phenomena, AC ciruits and three phase systems.
Be familiar and able to use the relations between the quantities in mathematical (equations) and graphical presentation.
Use the relations for analytical calculations.
Be capable of use of some computer tools (such as Matlab, Octave, Python, …) to plot the analytical expressions in a graph.
Use a computer tool to calculate distribution of magnetic field and present it graphically.
Use instructions to prepare and run real experiments, observe and analyse data and draw conclusions.
