This unit comprises 48 contact hours. One half (24 hours of lectures/tutorials) covers (1) the development of the general theory of electromagnetism based on Maxwell's equations; (2) illustration of the theory using applications taken from electrical and electronic engineering; and (3) introduction to practical techniques for solving problems in electromagnetism. Topics include an introduction to vector calculus; electrostatics—Gauss's Law, electric potential, polarisation, energy stored in an electric field, steady current flow, resistance and capacitance, boundary conditions, Poisson's equation and Laplace's equation; magnetostatics—Biot-Savart Law and Ampere's Law. <br/><br/>The other... -- Course Website
