Course Objectives
  1. To introduce the fundamental principles and concepts of physics in detail at freshmen level.  
  2. To show the necessity and importance of physics for other branches of natural sciences and engineering through applications in real life, and industry and technology.
Course Outcomes
(The knowledge and the skills that the student will gain at the end of the course)
  1.  Introduction to the electromagnetism will help to understand topics that can be explained by the laws of electric and magnetism for the system that consist of charged particles and substances.
  2. Through the realisation of technological importance of the fundamental laws for electromagnetism the students will gain skills and knowledge to use these laws in the field of study.
