Course Aims

This is an introductory course aims at covering the basic principles of electricity and magnetism and their applications. The course is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of the elementary physics principles of electric charges and fields, Gauss’s law, electric potential, magnetic field, induction and Lorentz force. Upon successful completion of the course, students are expected to have enhanced ability in comprehending technical information, reasoning through scientific questions and analysis, and applying physics principles to solve a wide range of both hypothetical and practical scientific problems.
