Learning Outcomes
1.Analyze magnetic fields produced by current-carrying systems using the Lorentz force, Biot–Savart law, and Ampère’s law.
2.Solve magnetostatic problems using the magnetic vector potential, magnetic dipole moment, and magnetostatic boundary conditions.
3.Analyze magnetic field behavior in matter using the concepts of magnetization, bound currents, and the H-field.
4.Explain time-dependent electromagnetic phenomena using the concepts of electromotive force, Faraday induction, and inductance.
