Aim:
In this course, the purpose for the student is to obtain a basic orientation in
electromagnetism and its applications, including an introduction to quantum mechanical phenomena and optics. The course is adapted mainly for the D-programme. After finishing the course, the student will be able to:
- solve simpler problems in electromagnetism analytically: electrostatics, magnetostatics, induction and electromagnetic waves
- solve and visualize more complicated problems within electromagnetism with numerical methods using a computer program
- have a basic understanding for quantum mechanical phenomena, solving problems with diffraction in apertures and gratings

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus, linear algebra, mechanics
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Course contents:
- Electrostatics: Coulomb�?Ts law, electric field strength, potential, Gauss�?Ts law,
capacitance, electric dipole, polarization, dielectric materials
- Currents: current density,
mobility, drift velocity, resistivity.
- Magnetostatics: magnetic flux density, Biot-Savart�?Ts law,
Ampere�?Ts law of circulation, magnetic dipole, magnetization, magnetic materials.
- Quantum mechanics: from atoms to solid materials.
- Electromagnetic fields varying with time: induction, electromotive force, Faraday�?Ts law, inductance, wave motion, refraction,
interference and diffraction.
- Examples of applications will be given during the course.
