Module description
This module will cover fundamental concepts of electromagnetism and power systems and it is structured in nine topics. Each topic will be covered in a week:
Topic 1- 3: The first part of the module introduces some basic concepts of electromagnetism to provide a physical foundation to concepts of electricity
Topic 4: A revision of electromagnetic oscillations, alternating currents and power based learned in year 1 will be carried out, based on the above concepts
Topic 5-9: The second part of the module will introduce power systems, electrical machines and power electronics
Assessment details
Written examination & coursework
Educational aims & objectives
The aim is to familiarize the students with the fundamental concepts and laws in electricity and magnetism, and establish a grounding in electromagnetism in preparation for more advanced electronic engineering courses. Also to provide them with analytical tools to understand and analyse the interactions between time-varying electric and magnetic fields.
