Electromagnetism I

Catalog description

This course puts the emphasis on conceptual thinking in terms of i) electric and magnetic fields; ii) electric and magnetic potentials; iii) currents and magnetic fields; iv) induction and v) Maxwell’s equations in vacuum. Rigorous, higher level mathematical methods like Gauss’s law, Stokes law, path integrals, polar and spherical coordinate systems will be used. Prerequisites: PHYS172 and MATH220 College of Arts & Sciences Physics & Engineering
