I kurset lærer vi om hvordan magnetisme fungerer i faste stoffer, og hvad det bruges til. Der blev brugt rigtig mange forskellige læsematerialer fra mange forskellige kilder i kurset, og de er alle oplistet nedenfor:
Videre blev der til regneøvelserne i den første del af kurset brugt et sæt af ekstra opgaver. Disse kan hentes nedenfor:
En oversigt over hvad vi lavede i kurset kan ses i tabellen nedenfor. Alle slides brugt under undervisningen kan også hentes her.

Eksamensspørgsmålene i kurset endte med at blive som følger (de fleste af dem med både en teoretisk og en eksperimentel del, men nogle af dem kun med en teoretisk del):
