This course introduces the tools and techniques to study static
electric fields and steady magnetic fields. Time-dependent
electromagnetic fields are discussed as far as it is necessary to
introduce electromagnetic induction. The course guides the student
to an understanding of the mathematical formalism underlying the
study of electromagnetic fields as it is expressed in Maxwell’s
equations. The physical interpretation and the relevance to electrical
engineering is developed in a systematic and comprehensive
description of electromagnetic fields. The approach is to emphasize
physical understanding and problem-solving skills. The experimental laws
are presented as concepts that are then unified in Maxwell’s equations.
The mathematical tools are introduced
on an as-needed basis.
