PHYSICS II
Course objectives
1) The student will acquire a thorough knowledge of the electromagnetic interaction, forces between charges, formal treatment of the fields and their mutual induction. 2) The student will be able to study the electric and magnetic nature of matter, know the electromagnetic nature of light and the basic treatment of physical optics. 3) Thanks to the classroom lessons and the help of written exam tests, the student will develop an adequate autonomy of judgment, as he will be able to analyze his work comparing it to the test solutions, which will be subsequently made available on the e-learning platform. 4) The acquisition of adequate skills and communication tools will be realized and verified especially during the disciplinary tests, which will contribute to the development of communication skills by the student. 5) The acquisition of adequate skills and communication tools will be realized and verified especially during the disciplinary tests, which will contribute to the development of communication skills by the student.

Prerequisites
It is very important to have a good knowledge of vector algebra, derivatives, integrals, classical mechanics and the various topics covered in the course of Physics 1.
Books
Recommended textbooks:
Theory -> Mazzoldi, Nigro e Voci, Volume II, Elettromagnetismo e Onde, EdiSES ed.
Exercises-> Corrado Mencuccini, Vittorio Silvestrini, ESERCIZI DI FISICA - ELETTROMAGNETISMO E OTTICA, Casa Editrice Ambrosiana
Frequency
In person
Exam mode
The exam consists of both a written and oral test on the topics that have been illustrated during the various lessons. To pass the exam, the student must be able to clearly present the proposed topics. Students will be asked to apply the methods learned while solving the various exercises, examples and situations similar to those discussed during the lessons. The evaluation takes into account:
*) correctness and completeness of the presented concepts;
*) clarity and rigorous presentation;
*) skills related to the analytical development of the theory;
*) problem solving attitude (method and results)
Lesson mode
To ensure consistency with the educational course objectives, the course is delivered according to:
-) theoretical lessons, for roughly two thirds of the course, where all of the foreseen topics are illustrated in details;
-) hands-on lessons, for roughly a third of the course, where the main techniques to solve exercises and exam problems are deeply explained.
