The objective of the course is introduce and professional training of students in the field of fundamentals of electrical engineering, by reviewing the basic physical laws of electrostatics, the time constant electric current, electromagnetism, time-varying electric currents and time-varying electric and magnetic fields. By presenting and analyzing the fundamental laws, students gain a new and moreover deepen existing knowledge about fundamentals of electrical engineering and interaction of this scientific field with other research areas.

The aim of this course is to prepare students to acquire knowledge and skills, through individual and team work, for applying, improving and developing methods for solving problems in the field of electrostatics, electromagnetism, and electrical networks with time-constant and time-varying electric currents. Based on the acquired knowledge, students will be able to calculate the electric field distribution of simple structure, charged by the time constant electrical charge, to calculate the capacitance of simple homogeneous symmetric structure, to solve circuits with time constant electric currents, to calculate the distribution of the magnetic field of simple symmetric structure, to calculate the inductance of simple structure with windings, to solve simple electrical and magnetic circuits with sinusoidal currents, to calculate the current, active and reactive power in electrical networks.
