Learning outcomes: Knowledge Students know the basic laws and principles of electricity, magnetism and optics with basic elements from modern physics (quantum physics, nuclear and atomic physics) and examples of their applying in industry and everyday live, are familiar with basics of the mathematical analysis of physical phenomena (including variable quantities with differential and integral calculus), know electrical, magnetic and optical parameters of materials, are acquainted with selected physical measuring methods. Skills: Students can connect simple circuits according to scheme and understand the principles of their operation, know and can apply the simplest electronic converters to measure non-electrical parameters, professionally present graphically and analytically the results of measurements and relationships between physical values, understand description of dynamic values with the use of differential and integral calculus (without complex calculations), are able to analyze physical/natural phenomena referring to all branches of physics, can select materials adequate to desired physical properties.
Competences: Student is open to the latest research and technological developments. He is creative in solving professional problems. His qualities are sensibility to problems of the protection of natural environment. He is ready to actively live in society based on knowledge.
Prerequisites: Phisics I, Mathematics.
