In the study course students are introduced to the concepts of scalar and vector quantities and fields, electric and magnetic fields in empty space and space with matter. Special attention is paid to the basic laws of electrical and magnetic circuits, time-varying electromagnetic fields and waves. The acquired knowledge allows students to orientate in electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic phenomena, giving an idea of the practical applications of observed phenomena.
