Intended learning outcomes
The course aims to give an introduction electromagnetism and the role it has in applications of technical relevance. After successful examination the student should be able to;
- solve problems related to electrostatics and magnetostatics
- solve problems related to induction and electromagnetic waves
- independently using electromagnetic theory to solve with problems
- relate theory to applications based on electric and magnetic phenomena
- calculate and visualize electromagnetic fields using computer simulations
- conduct basic measurements related to electromagnetic fields
Course content
Relevant mathematical concepts: Coordinate systems scalar fields and vector fields.
Electrostatics: Electric Field Intensity, Coulomb's law, Potential, Gauss's law.
Magnetostatics: Steady Electric Currents, Current Density, Equation of Continuity, Magnetic Flux Density, Biot-Savart law, Ampere's Circuital law, Magnetic Materials, Magnetic Circuits, Magnetic Dipole, Motion of Charged Particles in Electromagnetic Fields.
Dielectric and magnetic materials: Capacitance, Resistance, Electric Dipole, Polarization, Electrostatic Energy and Forces. Magnetization, Magnetostatic Energy and Forces.
Induction: Time-Varying Electromagnetic Fields, Faraday's law, Electromotive Force, Displacement Current Density.
Electromagnetic Waves: Poynting Vector. Reflection and refraction.
Applications related to electromagnetism: wireless communication, memory technology, etc.
For the interested few, vector calculus and electromagnetic theory on differential form: Divergens, curl, Gauss's and Stoke's theorems. Poisson's and Laplace's Equations. Method of images. Boundary conditions.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, Problem solving sessions, Laboratory work. Problem based learning and group activities.
