Electromagnetic Fields I

Catalog description

An introduction to electricity and magnetism. The first of a two semester study of Maxwell's equations in both integral and differential forms. Topics include electrostatics with vector calculus; electrostatic potential solutions in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates; dielectrics; electrostatic energy and capacitance; magnetostatics with vector calculus; Biot-Savart law; vector and scalar potentials for magnetisml magnetic permeability; Faraday's law in integral and differential form; magnetic energy and inductance; displacement current; lumped oscillations and LCR systems; impedance.
