Course description and aims
This course aims to give the concepts of electromagnetism which can be basis of wide fields of science and engineering. The course begins with static electric and magnetic fields followed by alternating fields, includes examples in various situations and finally reaches the Maxwell Equations that comprehensively describe electromagnetic phenomena.
Student learning outcomes
Students gain the knowledge and skills to (1) explain the concepts of electric and magnetic fields, potential, energy and describe them mathematically, (2) understand electromagnetic phenomena through the Maxwell Equations comprehensively, and (3) solve problems in various situations using the mathematical framework given by the Maxwell Equations.
Keywords
Coulomb's law, electric field, Gauss’ law, potential, energy, magnetic field, Ampère's circuital law, Biot-Savart law, electromagnetic induction, Maxwell Equation, Lorentz force, specail relativity
