Eligibility

General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Specific entry requirements

The same as for the programme that owns the course.
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Course specific prerequisites

Analysis, linear algebra and applied mathematics.

Aim

To give students fundamental knowledge in electromagnetic field theory, electric circuit theory, and measurement techniques. With these knowledge, students are able to understand and use medical techniques to study biological and medical processes.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • Define basic concepts in static electric fields theory;
  • Explain important laws (Coulombs law and Gauss law) and use these laws to solve simple static electric fields problems;
  • Define basic concepts in static magnetic field theory;
  • Explain important laws (Amperes law and magnetic induction) and use these laws to solve simple static magnetic fields problems;
  • Define basic concepts in electric circuit theory such as voltage, current, power, DC, AC  and explain the electrical properties of three basic electric elements  (resistor, capacitor and inductor);
  • Explain the connections between field and circuit theory;
  • Explain two important circuit laws (Kirchhoff's voltage law and Kirchhoff's current law) and use these laws for the analysis and calculation of DC & AC problems;
  • Explain the functions of a filter and an operational amplifier, calculate and analyze relevant circuits;
  • Apply measurement techniques by performing real measurements of voltage and current for different components and devices;
  • Relate the knowledge to real biological processes and biomedical applications;

Content

Fundamental electric circuit theory, electromagnetic field theory, measurements techniques and electronic devices (such as filters, amplifiers) with applications in medical technology in order to study biological and medical processes.

Organisation

The course is given in study period four and it consists of ordinary lectures, guest lectures, tutorials and a compulsory lab. All the material is available on the course webpage on PINGPONG and it is possible to self-evaluate the knowledge by doing homeassignments.

Literature

Ellära: Krets-och fältteori av  Lars Bergström, Lars Nordlund

Examination including compulsory elements

Written exam at the end of the course. The exam includes five pages and each page is composed of a few theoretical questions and a big problem.

Voluntary continuous examination by handing in assignments.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
