Electric, magnetic. and optical properties of materials

Summary

The subject is a description of electrical, magnetic and optical properties of materials, phenomena and laws. It includes the forces acting on charges and the description of electrostatic fields, electric current, the formation of magnetic fields and their force effects and voltage induction. The interconnection of phenomena leads to a description using Maxwell's equations, from which the properties of the electromagnetic field and optics are derived. Focuses on the use of physical principles and laws in understanding natural phenomena and engineering applications.
