This freshmen level course has been designed to provide an introduction to the ideas and concepts of Physics that would serve as a foundation for subsequent electronic engineering courses. The primary objective is to endow the knowledge of a wide variety of electric and magnetic phenomena along with their scientific applications, specifically, in the field of electronic engineering. The course initiates with a short review of relevant mathematics, immediately followed by the basics of electricity at the atomic level. A majority of the course is then dedicated for electric and magnetic fields, forces, elements and their applications. Additionally, it also aims to provide introductory knowledge of wave theory and semi-conductor theory in conjunction with their applications.

CLO:1. Define how to calculate and measure Voltage, Current and Resistance, connectivity etc. using digital multimeter and express knowledge of handling Power Trainer, Function Generator and Oscilloscope (Level: P1)

CLO:2. Use the knowledge acquired in lab and course to construct and investigate basic electronic circuit like dc power supply to harvest knowledge of all its intermediate stages  (Level: C6)
