Main purpose
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with
basic knowledge of thermodynamics and electricity. In
addition, the student must become familiar with problem
solving techniques and achieve a solid basis for further
technical and science education.
Knowledge
The students should acquire knowledge about:
DC electricity:
o Electric charge, electric potential, current and resistance, Ohm’s law, electric power, circuit analysis, solar panels.
Thermodynamics:
o Temperature and heat, phase changes and heat transfer, the ideal gas equation
Skills
After completing this course, the student will be able to:
• Solve simple exercises in electrostatics
• Analyze simple DC circuits
• Solve simple exercises in amount of substance
• Understand basic heat transfer
• Solve simple exercises in thermodynamics
Competences
The students should gain competences in:
• After completing this course, the student must be able to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in simple real-world problems, in order to follow more advanced courses within electricity and thermodynamics.
Topics
