The theory of electromagnetism, one of the most successful and most widely applied theories of modern physics, describes the properties and behaviour of electric and magnetic fields and their interaction with charged matter. This theory underlies all of modern optics, telecommunication and electrical engineering, and has played an important role in furthering our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature.<br/><br/>The basic laws of electromagnetism are introduced in this unit, and their important consequences and applications in electrostatics, magnetostatics and electrodynamics are studied. It is also shown how these laws can be re-expressed in terms of the more powerful... -- Course Website
