Course content

Electro statics: Coulombs law, scalar potential, Gauss' law, dielectric media, capasitance, currents, resistance, energy. Magnetostatics: Biot-Savarts law, Ampere's law, vector potiential, magnetic materials and circuits, energy and forces.
Electro dynamics: Faraday's law, inductance, transformers, displacement current. Maxwells equations. Electromagnetic waves and Lorenz potentials.
Brief introduction to mechanical wave theory.

Learning outcome

The course will provide a fundamental background in basic electromagnetic principles and components.

Knowledge
- Understand and be able to apply the laws of electrostatics: Coulomb's law, potential, Gauss' law, dielectric media, capacitance, currents and resistance, energy density.
- Understand and be able to apply the laws of magnetostatics: Forces between current elements, Ampere's law, vector potential, magnetic media and circuits, energy and forces.
- Understand the generalization of statics laws to electrodynamics: Electromagnetic induction, Faraday's law, inductance, transformers. Displacement current. Maxwell's equations. Electromagnetic waves and retarded potentials.

Skills
- Understand the physical principles in classical electromagnetics.
- Be able to solve problems in classical electromagnetics using mathematics and physical understanding.
- Use the fundamental theory to see potential and limitation in circuit theory
- Understand the relevance of electromagnetics for physical phenomena and technology.

General competence
- work individually with theory exercises
- do simple lab exercises.
