Purpose of class
To obtain a fundamental knowledge and ability to solve problems such as electric force, electric field, electric potential, capacitance, resistance, and current, for understanding major studies in electronic engineering.
Course description
　Electromagnetism is a fundamental for working in electronics such as semiconductor devices.”Introduction to Electromagnetism 1” deals topics on electronic force between charges, electric field, electric potential, electric potential energy, which are fundamental values for analyzing electric phenonena. In addition, students will learn calculation methods to evaluate these values using principles of electromagnetics.Students will also learn microscopic views of macroscopic values such as capacitance and resistance.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the Coulomb’s law and can use it to calculate forces between charges
  2. To understand the Gauss’s law and can use it to calculate electric field induced by chages
  3. To understand the physical meaning of electric potential and potential energy and can calculate these values induced by charges and electric field.
  4. To be able to calculate capacitance values for capacitors with various shapes and can calculate an equivalent capacitance of parallelly connected capacitances or serially connected capacitances. To be able to explain microscopic mechanism of polarization in a dielectroc capacitor.
  5. To be able to explain electric current from the microscopic view and calculate resistance values for resisters with various materials and shapes and can calculate Joule heating, electric power consumption.
