| Aim: To obtain a working knowledge of basic electromagnetic theory and its applications in a number of areas including introductory circuit theory. As a supplementary aim to illustrate available mathematical methods. |
| Contents: Circuit theory: Charge and current, the potential V, sources, resistors, capacitors and inductors, Kirchhoff's laws, alternating current, phasors, transients, resonance. Electrostatics: The electric field E, the scalar potential V, dielectrics and the D-field, Gauss's law, energy and forces. Electric current: Extended currents, Ohm's law, Joule heat. Magnetostatics: The flux density B, Biot&Savart's law, Guass's law for B, the vector potential A, magnetic materials and the H-field, Ampère's law, magnetic circuits. Energy and forces. Induction: Faraday's law, inductances. Waves: Wave equations, superposition, reflection and transmission. Transmission lines: Wave propagation, characteristic impedance, reflections, and standing waves. The Maxwell equations: The displacement current, energy flow, the wave equations. Electromagnetic waves: Plane waves. Reflection and transmission. Sources: The retarded potentials, radiation. Electromagnetism and special relativity. |
Remarks: The topics circuit theory and transmission lines are not part of the requirements for the exam, but are covered by 2 + 2 sets of mandatory home work.
The course continues with 10015. Total credit is 10 points. |
