About the course
Aim
The overall goal is that the student - with the Maxwell equations, MW, as starting point, should be able to define, derive and use basic electromagnetic laws and theorems on problems in physics and electrical engineering. This implies that the student should:
- be familiar with and able to use time independent electromagnetic laws and theorems
- be able to formulate idealized models for time independent electromagnetic problems
- be able to apply time independent electromagnetic theory to solve problems primarily in physics and electrical engineering
- be able to explain in a well structured and logical concise way derivations/relations within time independent electromagnetics as well as between the central concepts of the theory
Content
- Electrostatics: Electric Field Intensity, Electric Flux Density, Coulomb's law, Potential, Gauss's law, Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Dipole, Polarization, Poisson's and Laplace's equations, the mirror charge method, the finite element method.
- Steady Electric Currents: Current Density, Equation of Continuity, Resistance, Joule's law.
- Magnetostatics: Magnetic Flux Density, Magnetic Field Intensity, Biot-Savart law, Ampere's Circuital law, Vector Magnetic Potential, Magnetic Materials, Magnetic Dipole, Magnetization.
- The different parts of the course are presented as specific applications of Maxwell's equations.
