SK1104 Classical Physics 7.5 credits
![](https://kursinfostorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/kursinfo-image-container/Picture_by_MainFieldOfStudy_23_Technology.jpg)
Wave physics and electromagnetism are two important fields within classical physics with a large number of applications. In this course, you will learn to make calculations on different applications and will also get some insight into how more advanced mathematics can be used to solve technical problems.

Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to
- solve engineering problems relevant for his/her study programme, which are connected with electric and magnetic fields, mechanical and electromagnetic waves
- assess the plausibility of the solutions for real-world situations

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- TEND - Digital examination, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TENE - Written exam, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
- TENV - Written exam, waves, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Yes, but it is only permitted by the examiner if the approval dates back less than two years.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
