Physics is an academic discipline that describes, analyzes, and understands
various phenomena in nature with mathematical language. One of the imperative attitudes to learning physics is to follow logical steps in developing fundamental concepts. In order to understand and develop the fundamental concepts that are taught, working on assignments is essential: Only sitting in classes and/or reading textbooks are insufficient for almost all of the students to understand the fundamentals of electromagnetics.
Through this course, students work on basic (sometimes advanced) exercises in electromagnetics and understand the fundamental concepts in electromagntics.

This course is designed to understand the fundamental concepts in electromagnetics through working on exercises.
- Compute electric forces, electric fields, and electric potentials by Coulomb's law and/or Gauss's law.
- Compute electric potentials around electrically charged materials, electric capacitance of capacitors, and electric fields in dielectric materials.
- Compute magnetic fields and Lorentz forces by Biot-Savart law or Ampere's circuital law.
- Compute induced electromotive forces by Faraday's law of induction. Compute electric current, voltage, and power in alternating-current circuits.
- Explain the ideas of electromagnetic waves and Maxwell's equations.
