Course description and aims

This course is complementary to the lecture course. After passing this course, the students will be able to account for the basic theory in electromagnetism such as vector analysis, Maxwell's equations, and related theorems and further be able to apply the theory by solving exercise problems.

Student learning outcomes

You will be able to solve problems of electromagnetism by using the vector analysis, Maxwell's equations and other related theorems.

Keywords

electric field, magnetic field, Maxwell's equations

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

A set of exercise problems will be given in every class session. The students are expected to solve all the problems by the next session. In class session, for each problem, a student will present how to solve it and field questions from the other students. The teacher will provide complementary explanation to the presentation.
