Università Roma Tre

“Fisica II” is the continuation of the “Fisica I” course. While the latter deals with the introduction of the principles of Classical Mechanics and Thermodynamics, this course presents the fundamental laws of Classical Electromagnetism. Thus, after this course the student will be able to distinguish between the features of the gravitational force and the electromagnetic one; regarding the origin, order of magnitude and range of application. In addition, the student will develop certain abstraction while using the resources of Vector Calculus (Vector Algebra and Differential and Integral Calculus) and Euclidean Geometry. That means that one is able to: (i) understand each physical situation and its conditions; (ii) identify that particular situation among the different scenarios presented during the course; (iii) visualize it (geometrically); and finally (iv) turn the problem into an analytical equation to be solved.

For what concerns this course, the student will be used to deal with “fields” and the symmetry of those to solve problems of Electromagnetism.

At the end, the student is expected to handle the physical concepts underlying the electric machines presented in the following courses.
