Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2019-20

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

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

La asignatura también está relacionada con las materias Mecánica Clásica I (mecánica lagrangiana) y Mecánica Clásica II (teoría de la relatividad especial y movimiento ondulatorio) 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.
