The General Physics Module contains three chapters according to the Module Description.
1. Mechanics
2. Electricity
3. Optics
The objective of the course is to develop in the student the ability to understand physics phenomena and instrumental techniques in life sciences, including Biology. The module introduces fundamental laws driving the three theoretical physics areas of mechanics, electricity and geometric optics. Applications will focus on biophysical and physiological systems.
This module aims to introduce basic concepts in electricity and magnetism. It also provides students with an understanding of the physics embodied in Maxwell’s equations. It is intended to lay the foundation of students before they encounter hard-core engineering subjects. The module prepares the students for future modules in the second, third and fourth years dealing with wave propagation and electromagnetism phenomena.
The objective of the course is to develop in the student an ability to understand physics phenomena and instrumental techniques in life sciences such as Biology and Chemistry. The module introduces fundamental laws driving mechanics, electricity, magnetism, waves and geometric optics. Applications will focus to chemical, biochemical, biophysical, physiological systems.
