winter and summer term

1 semester

Physical laws are the basis of almost every technical application. Many areas of physics are taught in separate modules. This module therefore focuses on the fundamental, interdisciplinary approach of physics. It is taught using the example of the transport of electric current and waves.

1. Waves

1.1 Oscillations

1.2 Circular and spherical waves

1.3 Refraction

1.4 Interference

1.5 Diffraction

2. Electrical engineering

2.1 Charge, current, voltage, energy, power

2.2 Kirchhoff laws: circuits with resistors

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination

• Field work / Experimental work

Written exam: see current regulations

The experimental work comprises 3 to 5 experiments. 

Basic knowledge of mathematics, differential calculus and statics.

After completing this module, students will be familiar with the basic concepts of electrical engineering and wave theory. They will be able to calculate the electrical properties of simple networks. They are familiar with the refraction, diffraction and interference of waves.

Students expand their school knowledge of electrical engineering and wave theory.

As part of the practical course, students acquire basic knowledge of how measurement results are communicated. They strengthen their ability to cooperate and organize themselves when carrying out and evaluating the experiments.
