Students will be introduced to fundamental concepts in Physics through a selection of topics in the following two areas: Electricity and Magnetism: Coulomb's law, calculations of electric fields and potentials; Gauss's law, capacitance, conductors and electric currents, origins of electrical resistance, Ohm's law, electrical measurements; motion of charges in electric and magnetic fields; Ampere's law; Biot-Savart law; electromagnetic induction, Faraday's law, inductance; displacement current, Maxwell's equations in integral form. Properties of Matter and Heat: elasticity; hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy; surface tension; ideal fluids, Bernoulli's equation, real fluids; temperature, thermometry, thermal expansion, equations of state; kinetic theory of gases; first law of thermodynamics, heat capacity, latent heat; heat transfer processes, conduction, convection, radiation. Lectures and tutorials are supported by four three-hour laboratory sessions.
