Materials in Electrical Engineering

This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the materials used in electrical engineering and their role in technological applications.

Main Content:

  1. Role and Importance of Materials: Materials form the foundation of electrical and electronic components, affecting the performance, reliability, and efficiency of devices.

  2. Classification of Materials: Based on their nature, materials are classified into:

    • Conductors: allow electric current to flow (e.g., copper, aluminum).

    • Insulators: prevent the flow of current (e.g., ceramics, polymers).

    • Magnetic Materials: used to generate or channel magnetic fields (e.g., iron, ferrites).

    • Semiconductors: control current flow as needed (e.g., silicon, germanium).

    • Superconductors: allow current to flow without resistance at low temperatures.

  3. Fundamental Properties and Applications:

    • Mechanical: strength, hardness, flexibility for structural applications.

    • Thermal: thermal conductivity or insulation for heat management.

    • Electrical: conductivity, resistivity, dielectric constant depending on the function.

    • Magnetic: permeability and hysteresis for magnetic devices and transformers.

Final Objective: To enable students to select and use appropriate materials based on their properties to optimize the performance of electrical and electronic systems.
