Course objectives

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with basic electric/electronic notions, definitions to have the right approach to automotive electronic problems and problem solving. Students will learn how new and already known physical quantities appear and handled in automotive environment. Calculations with said quantities will be practiced and applied.The aim of the course is to familiarize students with basic electric/electronic notions, definitions to have the right approach to automotive electronic problems and problem solving.

Course content
Lectures

Electrostatics (basic notions, electric charge, principle of conduction, Coulomb’s law, dielectric polarization, E-field, understanding electric potential, capacity, discharge) Resistive networks, Kirchhoff’s laws, Ohm’s law, heat calculations, characteristic impedance. Periodic signals, Fourier’s law, modulation techniques, PWM and it’s use in automotive. Calculations with inductivities, capacitors and passive networks both in case of transient and sinusoidal excitation. The notion of signal, modulation techniques (AM, PM, FM and hybrid) Magnetism basics (basic notions, Ampere’s law, Faraday’s law, Lorentz’s force, Lenz law, electromagnetic induction, eddy current, skin effect, magnetic materials) Electric rotary machines (motors, generators and their working principles) Semiconductor devices (basics of P-N junction, light emitting devices and their principles, solar cells

Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements

During the semester, one final examination will be written, which can be corrected or made up once. In addition, three minor examinations will be done on calculation skills. A satisfactory result in the three minors and the final examination is a prerequisite for obtaining a satisfactory mid-semester grade. The mid-term mark is the final examination mark.
