Credit points:	03
Year:	2015
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:	College of Science, Technology & Engineering

This is a calculus-based subject. It covers an introduction to AC and DC circuit theory, electrical concepts, units and calculations used to apply them; energy transformations in circuits containing resistors, capacitors and inductors; other physics topics cover fluids, classical thermodynamics, relativity, and nuclear physics.

Learning Outcomes

• recall or recognize information, concepts, and principles of fundamental electric circuits, including the correct use of terminology and definitions;
• translate, comprehend, or interpret the information in a word problems while deciding on the relevant physics principles and diagrams necessary to solve problems in modern physics;
• select, identify, and use the appropriate data and physics principles to complete a problem or task, including the manipulation of mathematical entities to solve problems in modern physics;
• integrate and analyse experimental data using mathematical and graphical techniques in order to develop a broad array of basic skills and tools of experimental physics and data analysis.
