Course description
Through this course, students will learn the fundamentals of electromagnetics and to develop mathematical skills for electromagnetic engineering.
The first half of the course will focus on static electric fields and steady electric currents, and students study the ideas of electric fields and of electric potentials and fundamentals of direct-current circuits.
The second half of the course will focus on electromagnetic phenomena, and students work on the ideas of magnetic fields and the Lorentz force. Additionally, focusing on dynamic electromagnetic fields, students will be taught the ideas of electromagnetic inductions, electromagnetic waves, and fundamentals of alternating-current circuits.
At the end of the course, students would understand that all classical electromagnetic phenomena are explained by Maxwell's equations.
Purpose of class
This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of engineering electromagnetics.
Goals and objectives
  1. Compute electric forces, electric fields, and electric potentials by Coulomb's law and/or Gauss's law.
  2. Compute electric potentials around electrically charged materials, electric capacitance of capacitors, and electric fields in dielectric materials.
  3. Compute magnetic fields and Lorentz forces by Biot-Savart law or Ampere's circuital law.
  4. Compute induced electromotive forces by Faraday's law of induction. Compute electric current, voltage, and power in alternating-current circuits.
  5. Explain the ideas of electromagnetic waves and Maxwell's equations.
