Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the basic concepts of electromagnetic field theory. It is devoted to the study of fields in the stationary state, i.e., static electric fields, steady currents and steady magnetic fields. The course is intended to introduce the students to three-dimensional spatial field concepts, and consequently begins with an exposition of vector calculus. All of the quantities and concepts which occur routinely in circuits courses, e.g., voltage, current, power, resistance, capacitance and inductance are defined rigorously

Course Content

Vector Algebra and Vector Analysis; Electrostatics: Fundamental Postulates of Electrostatics, Coulomb’s Law, Gauss Law and Applications, Electric Potential, Dielectric and Polarization; Steady Electric Currents: Ohm’s law and current boundary conditions; Solutions of electrostatics problems: Laplace and Poisson Equations, image charges; Magnetostatics: Fundamental Postulates of Magnetostatics, Vector Magnetic Potential, Ampere’s law, The Biot-Savart Law and Applications, Behavior of Magnetic Materials, Magnetic Energy, Magnetic Forces and Torques; Boundary Conditions for Electrostatic and Magnetostatic Fields; Introduction to time-varying Fields and Maxwell’s Equations.
