III. Course objectives
The course aims to give to the students the foundation necessary for understanding of electromagnetic theory and is accompanied by a rigorous mathematical device. Such way,  the students will be trained to understand further the fundamental topics in other disciplines, being able to use electromagnetic measurement devices and physics to design experiments that involve phenomena presented in the course of electricity and magnetism.	

IV. Course contents
The course introduces basic and applied concepts of electricity and magnetism. The topics treated are related to the task, quantifying and its relativistic invariance, field and electric potential, electricity and electrical circuits. Based on the model of energy bands in solids, classes of materials are discussed according to their electrical conductivity. Magnetic properties associated with moving electric charges are related to magnetic moment of the atomic currents and spin magnetic moment. Interaction of electric and magnetic moments with external fields is described in the classical models. Macroscopic behavior, electrical and magnetic substances, are described and illustrated for materials of technological interest.
