Aims
This module is to provide the foundation physics of Particles, Fields and Electricity to analyse simple physical systems.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Understand the components of the atom, master the charge and quality, learn how to determine the size of the nucleus and its behaviour.
2.
Explain the principles and behaviour of the Coulomb force and the electric field, explaining the resistance, capacitance and inductance.
3.
Give Mathematical Description of Simple Field Method and Its Application
4.
Know the principles of the electro-magnetic Induction.
