Electrical and thermal physics (3cr)

Objective

Upon completion of the course, student will - be able to utilize the necessary concepts and units that are used in modeling thermal and electrical phenomena - be able to analyze the thermodynamic properties of materials and solid bodies with equilibrium models - be able to interpret thermal and electrical laws as approximate empirical descriptions - is able to analyze electrostatic interactions between electric fields and charged particles - be able to solve even complicated DC circuits - be able to identify electricity production and transmission processes, such as the use of three-phase power, transformer, generator and induction motor operation - be able to evaluate his/her skills on thermal and electrical physics and apply his/her expertise in the subsequent advanced studies

Content

- Basics of thermal physics - Electrostatics - Direct current - Alternating current - Basics of magnetism

Location and time

[Remove the instructional text in brackets. You can mention when you will send the initial message about the implementation to the students by email. Mention if there is a common orientation session for the implementation. Also mention other important implementation dates.] The schedules for the scheduled online teaching can be found in the timetable at https://lukkarikone.seamk.fi/. Timetables are published for the next six weeks. The first six weeks of autumn are published by Midsummer and the first six weeks of spring by Christmas. Timetables may be subject to changes.

Materials

[Remove the instructional text in brackets. Specify the material used in the implementation as precisely as possible. The university library makes material acquisitions based on this information. Also mention if studying requires special equipment, e.g., headphones or a webcam.]

Teaching methods

[Remove the instructional text in brackets. Record the key information about the implementation method and learning environment from the student's perspective. Pay particular attention to the description of the working method that is important for the student. You can use and modify the sample sentences below, which are listed by implementation method. Be sure to remove unnecessary text (including subheadings).] Completion of the course requires participation in both contact teaching and online teaching. The course is conducted in the Moodle learning environment. The course requires independent work and scheduling. Choose also the appropriate options for the study from the following: - The course includes joint online meetings/pair or group work at campus. - The course includes joint online meetings/pair or group work. - The course includes laboratories at the SEAMK campus. - It is also possible to follow contact teaching online (hybrid). - The recordings of the teaching sessions are/are not available for later viewing in Moodle. - The course also includes independent work online. - The student familiarizes themselves with the theoretical material, completes online assignments / practice project / exam according to the given instructions.

Completion alternatives

[Remove the instructional text in brackets. Describe the alternative completion methods for the implementation here. You can use and modify the examples of completion methods below.] This implementation can be completed in the following alternative ways. The completion methods are described in more detail in the Moodle learning environment. - Essay - Exam - Pair/group/project work - Learning diary - Learning task - Reflection diary - Report - Workshop - Seminar or presentation - Demonstration - Other, which

Student workload

[Remove the instructional text in brackets. Leave the text below in the field. Additionally, you can estimate the student's time usage in hours for different parts/tasks of the study: For example, lectures 84 h, guided exercises 20 h, independent study 112 h.] The workload of the study is designed so that one credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of student work to achieve the learning objectives. The actual time required varies individually, e.g., due to prior knowledge.
