Introduction to Electromagnetic Fields.

Catalog description

Semester course; 2 lecture and 3 laboratory hours. 3 credits. Prerequisites: EGRE 201 , EGRE 207 , MATH 301 , and MATH 307 , each with a minimum grade of C or EGRE 206 , MATH 301 , MATH 307 and PHYS 208 , each with a minimum grade of C. The course provides an introduction to the concept of electromagnetic fields. Topics include electrostatics, magnetostatics, scalar and vector potentials, and work and energy in fields, as well as the analysis and understanding of the phenomena associated with static electric and magnetic fields. Laboratory exercises will serve to reinforce students’ understanding of fields and train them in methods to measure, quantify and analyze electromagnetic phenomena.
