Objectives
PHYSICS 2 IS THE SECOND COURSE IN PHYSICS. ITS GOAL IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELEVANT PHYSICAL PHENOMENA IN ELECTROSTATICS, MAGNETOSTATICS AND ELECTROMAGNETISM, WHICH ARE THE BUILDING BRICKS FOR MANY ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS. IN SUCH A WAY IT PROVIDES A STRONG KNOWLEDGE AND PROFICIENCY ABOUT THE BASICS OF MECHANICS, WHICH ARE THE STARTING POINT FOR THE TOPICS OF THE MORE ADVANCED SPECIALISTIC COURSES.
AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENTS WILL GAIN KNOWLEDGE (ABILITY TO APPLY THE LEARNED SKILLS) ON:
FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTROSTATICS.
ELEMENTS OF MAGNETOSTATICS.
BASIC ELEMENTS OF ELECTROMAGNETISM.
CONCEPTS OF ELECTROSTATIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
THE STUDENTS WILL ACQUIRE THE FOLLOWING MAIN ABILITIES:
TO USE THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IN SOLVING PRACTICAL PROBLEMS.
TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE SIMPLE PROBLEMS OF ELECTROSTATICS, MAGNETOSTATICS AND ELECTROMAGNETISM.
TO ASSESS THE ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL SYSTEMS CHARACTERIZED BY SIMPLE SYMMETRIES.
Prerequisites
IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE THE ABOVE GOALS THE STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO POSSESS KNOWLEDGE AND COMPETENCE ABOUT MECHANICS, BASIC NOTIONS OF CALCULUS.
Contents
RESUME ABOUT CENTRAL FIELDS (CONSERVATIVE FIELDS) APPLIED TO COULOMB'S LAW.
COMPARISON BETWEEN THE MECHANICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY AND THE ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL ENERGY. DISCRETE SOURCES OF CHARGE. PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION AND LINEARITY. VECTOR ALGEBRA AND DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS. CIRCUITATION AND IRROTATIONAL FIELDS.
ELECTROSTATIC INDUCTION. LINEAR CONTINUOUS SOURCES OF CHARGE. ASSESSMENT OF THE ELECTROSTATIC FIELD WITH THELP OF THE COULOMB'S LAW. GAUSS LAW. FLUX OF A VECTOR FIELD AND SOLENOIDAL FIELDS. CONDUCTORS. CAPACITORS. ELECTRICAL CURRENTS. SERIES AND PARALLEL OF BIPOLES. MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS FOR THE ELECTROSTATIC FIELD: LOCAL AND NON LOCAL FORMS.
MAGNETIC INDUCTION FIELD. FIRST LAPLACE'S FORMULA. MAGNETIC FIELD GENERATED BY SOURCES OF STATIONARY CURRENTS WITH SIMPLE GEOMETRIES. SECOND LAPLACE'S FORMEULA.LORENTS FORCE. MECHANICAL TORQUE OF PALNAR CIRCUITS IN A MAGNETIC FIELD. CIRCUITATION OF MAGNETIC FIELD. AMPERE'S LAW. ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION. FARADAY-NEUMANN-LENZ'S LAW. SELF AND MUTUAL INDUCTION PHENOMENA. ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AND THEIR SPECTRUM.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS ARTICULATED IN 48 HOURS (6 CFU) OF FRONTAL LECTURES (THEORY AND PRACTICE), DISTRIBUTED IN 12 WEEKS, TAKING PLACE IN THE CLASSROOM ALSO USING MULTIMEDIA FACILITIES, AND IN 36 HOURS, DISTRIBUTED ALSO IN 12 WEEKS, OF TUTORING ACTIVITIES. THESE SUPPORTING ACTIVITIES ARE PLANNED FOR 3 GROUPS OF PARTICIPANTS, EACH ONE CONTAINING 1/3 OF THE STUDENTS ENROLLED TO THE COURSE.
IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE FINAL EVALUATION PROCEDURE AND THE GAIN OF THE COURSE CREDITS, STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE ATTENDED THE COURSE FOR THE 70% AT LEAST OF THE SCHEDULED HOURS OF THE FRONTAL LECTURES. 30% WILL BE DEVOTED TO EXERCISES
Verification of learning
THE FINAL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE THE STUDENTS' OVERALL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE AND THEIR ABILITY TO APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE TO SOLVE SIMPLE PROBLEMS OF BASIC ELECTROMAGNETISM.
THIS ASSESSMENT IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE OF STEPS:
ONE FIRST WRITTEN MIDTERM EXAM ABOUT THE TOPICS DISCUSSED DURING THE FIRST HALF PART OF THE COURSE. AFTER THIS EXAM, THE SUCCESSFUL STUDENT IS EXEMPTED FROM A FURTHER WRITTEN EXAMINATION ON THE SAME TOPICS;
ONE SECOND WRITTEN EXAM ABOUT ONLY THE TOPICS DISCUSSED DURING THE SECOND HALF PART OF THE COURSE.
ONE FINAL ORAL EXAM.
THESE WRITTEN EXAMS ARE PREPARATORY TO THE ORAL EXAM.
THE TOPICS OF THE WRITTEN EXAMS ARE ANALOGOUS TO PROBLEMS AND EXERCISES SOLVED DURING THE FRONT LECTURES AND DISCUSSED IN DETAILS DURING THE TUTORING ACTIVITIES.
THE FINAL ASSSSSMENT EVALUATION TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE STUDENTS' SKILLS AND ABILITY TO IDENTIFY, ANALYZE, AND SOLVE THE PROPOSED PROBLEMS, USING THE CORRECT PROCEDURES AND ALGORITHMS, ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY ALL THE DETAILS OF THE CHOSEN
RESOLUTION PROCEDURE.
THE WRITTEN EXAMS ARE EVALUATED ACCORDING TO A QUALITATIVE RANGES IN INCREASING ORDER: FAIL F, ALMOST ENOUGH E, ENOUGH, DISCRETE C, GOOD B, EXCELLENT A.
THE STUDENTS ELIGIBLE TO BE EVALUATED IN THE FINAL ORAL EXAMINATION ARE ONLY THOSE ONES WHO HAVE EARNED A SCORE OF E, AT LEAST, IN BOTH THE WRITTEN EXAMS.
ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS, INCLUDING THE STUDENTS NOT ENROLLED TO THE COURSE, HAVE TO ATTEND ONLY ONE WRITTEN EXAMS, REGARDING ALL THE TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THE COURSE AND THEY MAY CHOOSE TO REGISTER FOR ONE OF THE POSSIBLE DATES SCHEDULED IN THE OFFICIAL EXAMS CALENDAR APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT. ALSO THESE STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO EVALUATED AT THE FINAL ORAM EXAMS, ONLY IF THEIR SCORE IS GREATER (OR EQUAL) THAN E.
THE FINAL ASSESSMENT SCORE IS EXPRESSED QUANTITATIVELY IN THIRTIETHS AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE STUDENTS SCORES IN THE WRITTEN AND IN THE ORAL EXAMS.
IN THE CASE OF STUDENTS WITH OUTSTANDING ABILITIES AND EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE MAY AWARD THEIR PREPARATION WITH THE FINAL SCORE OF 30/30 CUM LAUDE.
