Objectives
To explain and apply the basic principles, laws and techniques of electricity.
Gaining insight in solving networks through varias techniques.
Claryfying theoretical terms using practical examples.

Topics
Direct current includes an introduction to valves, units and basic laws of electrotechnique, the switching of resistanses and different techniques to resolve circuits.
Magnetism studies the magnetic fields in general, followed by a study of electromagnetism.
Furthermore attention goes to electromagnetic induction in order to understand the working of motors and generators.
The course includes a part of electrostatics, with deals with powerfields, potential, condensators and the term polarisation.
The course is concluded with a chapter on theory of alternative current focusing on the complex figuration.

Assessment
Written examination, written tests.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
