Learning Objectives

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Understand the Gauss’s law and apply it to
different types of conductors
• Understand the function of resistances, capacitors,
and inductances in the context of DC circuits and
analyze and solve such circuits
• Understand the relationship between the electric
and magnetic field and its practical applications
• Understand AC circuits and how they differ from
DC circuits
