Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The course provides to students with Maxwell's equations. Transmission lines, impedance, matching, reflections, standing waves.
Student will be able to explain away basic notions of the electrostatics, magnetic field, current field, electromagnetism and EMC including signal propagation on the long lines. Student will be able to solve simple electrical circuits.
Prerequisites
Math and physics from secondary school and the first term.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Students should demonstrate understating of solved problems.
