Course Information

About this Course

This course is designed for diploma level programme at semester 2. It introduces principles and in areas of electrostatics, electricity, magnetism and light and optics. Students will define concepts, state, laws and theories, make predictions as to the possible outcome of an event, perform investigations via laboratory exercises and, discuss the results.
