Physics II

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The course presents essential concepts, exploring interactions between matter, fields, and energy, with a focus on electrical phenomena and their applications. It develops reasoning, critical thinking, and a “physical sense” of problems, avoiding the automatic use of formulas and always connecting theory to reality.
• ProgramaProgramme

  1. Electrostatics and Electricity Electric Charge and Electric Field; Gauss's Law; Electric Potential; Electric Current, Resistance, and Electromotive Force; Simple Direct Current Circuits.  2. Electromagnetism  Magnetic Field and Magnetic Force;  Electromagnetic Induction;  Fundamentals of Alternating Current Generation;  Induction and Transformers. 3. Radiation  Electromagnetic Radiation;  Gamma, Alpha, and Beta Radiation;  Radiation Protection.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  O1. Present the essential concepts, variables, and interactions between material objects, fields, and energy transfers;   O2. Acquire knowledge of other branches of physics, which are indispensable to any engineering course.  O3. Reinforce habits of scientific rigor and critical thinking;  Specific objective:  O5. Understand electrical phenomena;  O6. Identify the origin and domestic and industrial applications.  Skills to be developed:  C1. Students should be able to present the basic concepts of Physics II;  C2. Develop reasoning skills, which are essential throughout the course and in professional life;  C3. Encourage discussion and analysis, counteracting the tendency to automatically apply formulas; C4. Keep in mind the “connection with reality” when involved in algebraic manipulations, but always maintain a strong “physical sense” of the problems under analysis;

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Face-to-face: 1. Problem-Based Learning (PBL): in which students work on projects that solve real problems, promoting research, collaboration, and the development of practical skills. Gamification, incorporating game elements into teaching, such as points, badges, and challenges, to increase student engagement and motivation.  Independent: 2. Teacher-guided research aimed at consolidating the topics under study and providing input for the practical work developed by students.
