Course content
Characteristics of gravitational field (intensity, gravitational force). Newton's law of universal gravitation. Work in gravitational field, potential energy of body. Temperature, thermodynamical temperature, temperature scale definition. Thermal expansion, thermal dilatation in solids, gases. Avogadro?s law. Heat, heat exchange (without phase change), specific heat capacity. Calorimetry. Electric force, intensity of electric field, graphical and vectorial description. Potential of electric field of charged particle. Electric voltage. Work and power of direct electric current. Joule-Lenz's law. Closed electric circuit. Electromotive force of a voltage source and its load characteristics. Steady and unsteady magnetic field, magnetic induction. Moving electric charge in a magnetic field (Amp?re force). Biot-Savart-Laplace's law. Magnetic properties of materials (magnetics, magnetisation). Permeability. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. Lenz's law.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The course program is designed to introduce to a student the concepts of classical physics and broaden physical knowledge in the area of physical fields. The student would acquire fundamental knowledge of gravitational, electric and magnetical fields, their properties and force interaction between them and matter. The subject follows up the junior high school subject. The student's ability to understand the matter in mutual relationship as well as independently implementing the knowledge on simple physical problems would be the priority.
Graduate student would became familiar with fundamentals of gravitational, electrical and magnetical fields, their properties and force interaction between them and matter. Further, she/he would strengthen her/his knowledge of calorimetry and in the introduction into thermodynamics is presented with principles of heat transfer and heat energy.
Prerequisites
Successful passing the subject Fundamentals of Physics I.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Student performance assessment

Assignment requirements: Successful passing the credit test and completing homework or successful passing the semisemestral test and simultaneously obtaining an activity-grade point from lecturer. Exam requirements: 1. Assignment of Fundamentals of Physics I and II. 2. Active understanding the subject's matter presented in lectures and in IS STAG study material. The subject Fundamentals of Physics II is completed with the exam containing matter of Fundamentals of physics I and II.
