    1. Know the origin of electricity.
    2. Identify the different physical quantities in electricity.
    3. Differentiate between the laws to be applied to point charges and continuous charge distributions.
    4. Apply Gauss's theorem to the calculation of the field for a well-defined continuous distribution.
    5. Differentiate between Ohm's law on microscopic and macroscopic scales.
    6. Adapt Kirchhoff's laws to different types of circuits.




  • Pre-requisites

    To follow this course, students must have certain prerequisites, some of which are listed below. The student must :

    • Know some simple experiments on general electricity and their explanations.
    • Know the source of electricity.
    • Master some mathematical operators for calculating electrostatic fields and forces.

  • The conceptual course map


    • This course is divided into four chapters:

      Chapter 1: Electrostatics

      Chapter 2: Gauss' theorem

      Chapter 3: Conductors and capacitors

      Chapter 4: Electrokinetics

      Chapter 5: Magnetostatic

  • Chapter 0

  • Chapter1: Electrostatic

    Objectives of this chapter:

    At the end of this course, the student will be able to :

    - Know what a point charge is.

    - Make the analogy between the gravitational force in mechanics and the Coulomb force in electricity.

    - Calculate electrostatic force, field and potential.

    - Introduce the analytical formula for the electrostatic field.

    - Study the properties of electrostatic field lines using examples.

    - Identify the different types of continuous charge distributions.

    - Deduce the various physical quantities in electricity for a continuous charge distribution.


    Pre-requisites:

    In this chapter, the student needs to know about:                                             

    - Knowing some simple experiments on general electricity and their explanations.

    - How to make the analogy between the law of gravitation and Coulomb's law.

    - Presentation of vectors and geometric calculation (Pittagort's rule and trigonometry laws).

  • Chapter II: Gauss theorem

    The objectives of Chapter II are:

    • This chapter enables the student to learn that there is another simple, indirect mathematical method for calculating the electrostatic field of a continuous charge distribution that possesses particular symmetries and invariances.
    • Gauss's theorem states that the flow of the electrostatic field through a closed surface is proportional to the charge contained within that surface.

    Chapter II prerequisites:

    In this chapter, the student needs to know about :   

    • The flow of a vector field.
    • The notion of a solid angle.
    • Cylindrical and spherical coordinates (surface and volume).
    • The principle of symmetry in a well-defined geometry.
    • The relationship between electrostatic field and potential.
