Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student acquires a fundamental
knowledge on the electric and magnetic phenomena. He/she knows how
to use the acquired knowledge to solve simple problems related to
the creation of electric and magnetic fields and to oscillating
electromagnetic fields. He/she knows how to handle the
electromagnetic phenomena.
