Section Description
Fundamental principles of electricity and magnetism; electrostatic fields, and magnetic fields of steady currents, Electric and magnetic properties of matter, electric and magnetic potentials and electromagnetic energy are introduced. The content is introduced under the following topics.
1. Electrostatics
2. Electric fields in matter
3. Magnetostatics
4. Magnetic fields in matter
5. Electromagnetic induction
6. Maxwell’s equations
During the lectures, I will be going over the important concepts and theories with the use of in class worksheets. Apart from that I will be doing several example problems. Students will gain experience in solving complex problems related to electrostatics and magnetostatics and proficiency in visualizing scalar and vector fields.
