Summary
Students will deepen knowledge gained in physics subjects from the area of
basic electric principles and simple electric circuits. They are acquainted
with safety and health protection at work with electric current. They will
deepen knowledge of alternate electric circuits, measuring, magnetic circuits,
electric machines, basics of semiconductor technology and transformers. The aim
of the subject is to gain basic knowledge from given area enables good
orientation and ability of professional communication.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
1. The aim is to acquaint students with the basic laws of electrical engineering, electrical circuits, measurement of electrical parameters, semiconductor equipment, electrical equipment and transformers.Students will be able to solve simple electric circuits, measure basic electrical quantities and to focus on practical applications of the studied areas.
2. The aim is also to acquire basic knowledge of the area to enable good orientation and the ability of professional communication.The acquired knowledge can be used in practice or in a subsequent study.
