The textbook discusses the properties of matter associated with the presence of electrical charges in nature, which determine the occurrence of electro-magnetic fields. Explanations of the basic laws, phenomena and concepts of electromagnetism are given . The laws related to mechanical and electromagnetic oscillations and wave propagation. are considered. Revealed the principles of theoretical and experimental studies of electromagnetic waves and the relationship between optical and electromagnetic phenomena The purpose of the manual is to help students to master the material of the program, to teach how to actively apply the theoretical foundations of physics as a working apparatus that allows solving specific tasks related to increasing resource efficiency. The manual is focused on the organization of independent work of students . It analyzes the solution of many physical problems, provides problems for independent solution and answers to them. Prepared according to the program of the course of physics of higher technical educational institutions in full compliance with the requirements of the educational state standard . Conforms to innovation policy and is aimed at activating scientific thinking and cognitive activity of students. Designed for interuniversity use by teachers and students of technical specialties of full-time and distance learning . ;Griff:Adopted by the NMS in Physics of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation as a teaching aid for university students studying in technical areas of training and specialties
