Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

La asignatura Electromagnetismo II se imparte en el grado dentro del bloque dedicado a “Electromagnetismo y Óptica”, concretamente en el primer cuatrimestre del tercer curso. Los y las estudiantes ya han cursado Electromagnetismo I en el segundo curso, mientras que Electromagntismo II lo cursan a la vez que Óptica I.

Anteriormente los y las estudiantes han recibido una introducción básica al electromagnetismo en la asignatura de Física II, que se imparte en el segundo cuatrimestre del primer curso del grado de Física. Además han recibido conocimientos de Análisis Matemático impartidos a través de tres asignaturas de Análisis, dos en primer curso y una en el primer cuatrimestre del segundo curso.

Además de con Electromagnetismo I de segundo curso, la asignatura Electromagnetismo II también está relacionada con las materias Mecánica Clásica I (mecánica lagrangiana, simetrías y leyes de conservación) y Mecánica Clásica II (teoría de la relatividad especial) estudiadas en el segundo curso, así como con la asignatura Óptica I (propagación ondas luminosas en medios homogéneos e isótropos) del primer cuatrimestre de tercer curso.
