Course description
This lecture introduces the fundamental understanding of electromagnetism which is in concept built by the Gauss’s law for electricity and magnetism, Faraday’s law, and Ampere’s law. In detail, the lectures will focus on electricity and magnetism before and after the midterm, respectively. The students will understand that nowadays technologies are basically developed by the concept of electromagnetism. Therefore, the students will not only practice to solve basic problems in the electromagnetism but also be introduced to the unified equation for the electricity and magnetism, namely Maxwell equations, and its application to explain the wider physics concepts.
Purpose of class
To understand the concept of electromagnetism in which electric and magnetic field shall induce each other carried by photon. Fundamentally, students shall understand the electricity and magnetism, including the Physical laws governing them and many applications coming out of these concepts. The students are also expected to be able to design an analog circuit. The students will be finally introduced to the importantly Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves.
