Course Content

 Lecture:

 "Electricity-2" treats electromagnetics, electrodynamics and a.c. circuits

• Magnetic fields, field strength, laws of the magnetic field
• Magnetism and electrical current: field generated by a conductor, force on a current-carrying conductor
• Induction phenomena: electromotive force, self-induction, behaviour of the coil
• Alternating currents: impedances (resistance, coil, capacitor) with alternating current
• Representation of a.c. voltages and currents: vector diagram and complex notation
• A.c. power: active, reactive and apparent power, power factor.

Practical exercises:

 

In the practical exercise sessions students solve problems under supervision. The selected problems are a direct application of knowledge and concepts gained in the lectures.

Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

• BaLO_1 To possess in-depth, application-oriented knowledge, understanding and practical skills related to mathematics and science, directed towards engineering applications.
• BaLO_2 To possess application-oriented knowledge, understanding and skills about engineering sciences and engineering techniques.
• BaLO_3 To solve practical engineering problems from an understanding of the basic theory and from an understanding of basic methods for the schematisation and modelling of processes or systems.
• BaLO_5 To effectively look up scientific and technical information, to evaluate and process such information and to refer to it correctly.
• BaLO_6 Based on acquired insight, to select the appropriate methods of research, design and solution and appropriately apply the results in a scientific and effective manner.
• BaLO_9 To demonstrate an engineering attitude: attention to planning, to technical, economic and societal factors as well as managerial implications, assessment of the risks and feasibility of the proposed approach or solution, being result-driven and achieving effective solutions, innovative thinking.
• BaLO_10 To correctly handle the scientific and discipline-specific terminology in language relevant to the programme.
• BaLO_11 To present and communicate the results of technical and scientific work, in writing, orally and visually. 
• BaLO_13 To act in an ethical and socially responsible manner with attention to technical, economic, human and sustainability aspects.

Objectives

D1: has insight in the interaction between electric currents and magnetic fields  (BaLO 1, 2, 3)

D2: understands the behavior of a.c. circuits and can solve circuits with different types of impedances (BaLO 1, 2, 3)

D3: has insight in the issue of active and reactive a.c. power  (BaLO 2, 3)

D4: interpretes measurements and reports in a correct manner (BaLO 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13)

 

AD1: reasons and acts in a structured and systematic manner (BaLO 9)

AD2: communicates in Dutch in a comprehensible and structured manner (BaLO 10, 11)

AD3: develops a professional attitude  (BaLO 9, 10, 13)

 

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.

Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

• Other Exam with a relative weight of 100 which comprises 100% of the final mark.
  
  Note: Exam moment 1st session:
  Lectures and exercises: written exam 100% (not transferred to 2nd session)
  Exam moment 2de session:
  Lectures and exercises: written exam 100%

Additional info regarding evaluation

An illegitimate absence of more than 25 % for the practical exercise sessions leads to a refusal to participate in the practical exercises exam. This leads to an absent quotation for the related exam. The sanctions taken in the first exam session are transferred to the second exam session.

Allowed unsatisfactory mark

The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
