Electrophysics II

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. have a good overview of Coulomb’s Law, electric fields, Gauss law, the electroSTAic potential, Laplace’s equation, point charges, continuous charge distributions and dipoles, capacitors, dielectrics and field energy; 2. display knowledge on Theory of electrolytes: Solubility and electrophoresis of proteins, quasi-STAic flow of charge, distribution of potential in volume conductors. 3. explain the Application of electrocardiography, Magnetic fields, Amperes laws; the law of Biot and Savart and the Magnetic properties of matter. 4. have a good overview and application of Electrical circuits, oscillators, feedback, with application to medical instrumentation e.g pacemakers.
