PHYS 532 - Electromagnetic Fields I Credits: 4
An introduction to electricity and magnetism. The first of a two semester study of Maxwell’s equations in both integral and differential forms. Topics include electrostatics with vector calculus; electrostatic potential solutions in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates; dielectrics; electrostatic energy and capacitance; magnetostatics with vector calculus; Biot-Savart law; vector and scalar potentials for magnetisml magnetic permeability; Faraday’s law in integral and differential form; magnetic energy and inductance; displacement current; lumped oscillations and LCR systems; impedance.
Note: Three hours of lecture and one hour recitation per week. The recitation will focus on mathematical methods and techniques applied to problem solving.
Repeat for Credit N
Requisites: Prerequisite: PHYS 214 and MATH 340.
