The course objective is to introduce students to the terminology of electrical engineering, the basic physical laws of electrostatics and to enable students to analyze electric circuits of time-invariant currents. Also, the objective is to teach the students to calculate basic parameters of the elements in such circuits, resistors and capacitors. In the second part, the objective is to introduce students to electric and magnetic field terminology, to basic laws of electromagnetics and to enable students to analyze electric circuits of time-varying currents. In addition to analysis of simple sinusoidal current circuits, the objective is to enable students to analyze balanced three-phase networks. Also, the objective is to teach the students to calculate impedance and the basic parameters of the loads in such networks, resistors, coils, capacitors and coupled coils.

The students who successfully complete the course are able: -to calculate the capacitance of a simple homogeneous symmetrical structure (e.g. coaxial cable with several layers of dielectrics) -to calculate the resistance of homogeneous multilayer structure - to analyze simple electric circuit of time-invariant current - to calculate maximum power of elements in the circuits and protect them from burning out. In the second part, students who successfully complete the course are able to calculate magnetic field of simple symmetrical structures, to calculate the inductance of simple structure with the coils, to solve simple electric and magnetic circuits of sinusoidal currents, to calculate instantaneous, active, reactive and apparent power of the elements in the circuits and to correct power factor in single-phase and balanced three-phase circuits.

The teaching process consists of lectures and tutorials, with occasional video presentations. The inductive method is applied in the lectures. The students’ knowledge grows gradually, trough many simple problems solving.
