Syllabus of tutorials:

The tutorials are grouped into two hours blocks. There are three lectures oriented on practise of tasks solution. Furthermore, there are two practical seminars at faculty laboratories and two excursions at health care institutions.

1., 2. Numerical tasks in electrostatic field.

3., 4. Numerical tasks in stationary electric field.

5., 6. Numerical tasks in stationary magnetic and electromagnetic field.

7., 8. Measuring of skin conductivity, practical laboratory seminar.

9., 10. A mapper of cardio electric activity, practical laboratory seminar.

11., 12. An excursion.

13., 14. An excursion.

Study Objective:

The goal of this subject is to inform students about theory of an electric and magnetic field and illustrate an origin and a propagation of the electromagnetic fields in a living organism. To inform students about modelling of this fields and sources and with direct and inverse method of modelling.
