-
define and realize the corresponding lab measurements (current and voltage) using electrical sources, multimeter and oscilloscope
-
formalize and solve analytically simple electromagnetic field theory problems (excluding propagation) where materials are involved
-
explain the physical interpretation of the concepts used in circuit theory and field theory

Contribution to the teaching profile
This teaching unit mainly contributes to develop the following competences (in French):
-
Formaliser, dans un langage scientifique rigoureux, des questions ou problèmes techniques et scientifiques aux contours définis inspirés de situations réelles, les résoudre en mobilisant des capacités d’abstraction, de modélisation, de simulation et d’analyse disciplinaire, en s’inscrivant dans les exigences de la recherche universitaire, et situer ces problématiques par rapport aux enjeux sociétaux
-
Maîtriser et mobiliser un corpus pluridisciplinaire en sciences et sciences de l’ingénieur en s’appuyant sur la compréhension des principes et lois qui les fondent et sur une approche critique du savoir
-
Elaborer un raisonnement scientifique structuré en mettant en œuvre les langages et les outils propres aux sciences et sciences de l’ingénieur
-
Communiquer, partager des informations et argumenter – oralement, graphiquement et par écrit, en français et en anglais – en s’adaptant au but poursuivi et à l’interlocuteur visé
