Course Description
The course targets to enable students to comprehend the basic principles that are needed to study the electronic courses, and acquire a good background and experience in handling and dealing with problems in terms of theories, laws and principles of Physics.
The topics include basic ideas about:
- Electrical charges, forces, insulators, conductors and semiconductors, concepts of electric field and potential, electric current and electric circuit components. Electric dipoles and the effect of electric field on them. Electric potential due to charges and potential difference, equipotential surfaces, magnetic field and magnetic forces.
- Introduction to Modern and Quantum Physics, semiconductors and their structures, their applications in development of modern technology, n-type and p-type crystals, semiconductor carrier properties and action, depletion layer and electric potential through it and introduction to diodes and types of diodes.
