Course assistant :
§ Define electric charge (q)
§ Understand the difference between conductors and insulators § Define electric force (F) and use Coulomb’s law to calculate the electric force between charges (two or more point charges) § Understand the meaning of quantized and conserved charge |
§ Know how to draw electric field lines and how to use them to interpret electric fields: point charge, dipole, three point charges, charged plate, etc
§ Define charge density (λ,σ,ρ) § Calculate the electric field due to a collection of charges: electric dipoles, line of charge, ring of charge, charged disk, infinite sheet of charge, etc § Calculate the force on (acceleration of) a particle in an electric field |
§ Understand the concept of flux (ϕ)and calculate the flux of an electric field
§ Define and understand the usefulness of Gauss’s law § Use Gauss’s law and choose appropriate Gaussian surfaces to calculate the electric field due to symmetrical charge distributions |
§ Understand the difference between electric potential energy (U) and electric potential (V)
§ Draw equipotential surfaces § Calculate the work required to move a charge in an electric field o Use the electric potential to calculate the electric field |
§ Understand how a capacitor works
§ Know how to relate charge on a capacitor to the potential of a capacitor § Define and calculate capacitance (C) for: a parallel plate capacitor, a spherical capacitor, cylindrical capacitor, etc § Calculate the amount of energy stored in a capacitor § Understand dielectrics, dielectric breakdown, and how dielectrics make capacitors more effective |
§ describe the magnetic force that acts on a charge q moving in a magnetic field and the force exerted on a straight conductor carries a current and the torque on a current loop placed in a uniform magnetic field. |
§ Understand basics of production, transport and distribution of electric energy |
§ Know the nature of light ,measurements of the speed of light, the ray approximation in geometric optics, reflection, refraction.
§ Understand light propagation and interaction with obstacles “lighting of buildings” § Know sources and sensors for optical fibers and its applications in communication. |
