Introduction to electromagnetics - 3AMPH330

Goal(s)

This unit of study provides an introduction to electromagnetics.
By the end of the course a successful student should:
*be able to understand the concept of electric and magnetic fields
*be familiar and with solution techniques in electrostatics and magnetostatics
*understand the behavior of energy storage in dielectric and magnetic materials
*understand Maxwell’s equations for time dependent electromagnetic fields
