| TNE038 | Electromagnetic Field Theory and Electromagnetism, 3 p (sw) /Ellära och elektromagnetism/ Advancement level: C | |
| Aim: The course aims to give students knowledge of electromagnetism which is essential for continued studies in physics, esp. in the area of electronics.Prerequisites: TNG012 Physical modelling, TNG010 Multivariable calculusSupplementary courses: TNE041 Modern physicsCourse organization: THe course is divided into lectures and tutorials.Course content: Fundamental theory of electrostatics: Coulombs law, electrostatic potential och field, superposition principle, dipole and generalised multipoles. Brief description of electrostatic fields in conductors and dielectric materials, polarisation and permittivity, Gauss law, Poisson's and Laplace's equations and boundary conditions. Fundamental theory of magnetism: magnetic field strength, Biot-Savart law, divergence and curl of magnetic fields. Magnetism in media, magnetisation, para-, ferro- and diamagnetic materials. Maxwell's equations and the electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic waves in vacuum, energy density and Poynting's vector. EM waves in dielectric and conducting materials: group velocity and the index of refraction. Reflection, refraction and polarisation. Waveguides.Course literature: To be announced.Assessment: | ||
