Aim:
The course aims to give an introduction electromagnetism and the role it has in applications of technical relevance. After successful examination the student should be able to;
- solve problems related to electrostatics and magnetostatics
- solve problems related to induction and electromagnetic waves
- work with electromagnetic problems on both integral and differential form
- relate theory to applications based on electric and magnetic phenomena
- calculate and visualize electromagnetic fields using computer simulations
- conduct basic measurements related to electromagnetic fields
