Physics (Electromagnetism)

Course Description

This course develops concepts in electric field and magnetic field, Maxwell’s equations, energy in electromagnetism, electromagnetic wave propagation, properties of electromagnetic waves and the spectrum of electromagnetic wave.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

We expect that after completion of this course, students are able to:

  • define the various fields in electrostatics, magnetostatics and electrodynamics, and to understand how they are related;
  • understand the characteristics of materials and their interactions with electric and magnetic fields;
  • understand electromagnetic wave concepts.
  • explain propagation of electromagnetic waves in various environments;
