Learning Outcomes AAv (AAv)

• AAv1 [heures: 20, B2, F1] : At the end of the semester, students will be able to precisely describe the physical properties (Coulomb forces, electric field, electric potential) induced in a vacuum by simple charge distributions point, linear, surface and volume statics.

• AAv2 [heures: 19, B2, B3] : At the end of the semester, students will be able to carefully explain, through simple and documented calculations and/or diagrams and/or precise descriptions, physical phenomena (electric field , electric potential, flow of the electric field) generated by distributions of point, linear, surface or volume electric charges both in a vacuum, on the passage of charged surfaces, as well as on the surfaces and inside conductors in equilibrium electrostatics and dielectrics.

• AAv3 [heures: 17, B3, C1] : At the end of the semester, students should be able to clearly explain the influence phenomena between potentially charged conductors, and apply them to capacitors.

• AAv4 [heures: 10, B2] : At the end of the semester, the student must be able to determine the direction, the direction and the module of the magnetic induction vector generated by a system formed of rectilinear wires, turns and solenoids each carrying a current.

• AAv5 [heures: 10, B3] : At the end of the semester, the student is able to use the consequences of the Lenz-Faraday law to analyze the induction phenomena generated in conductive loops.
