| GENERAL EDUCATION: | This course does not fulfill a General Education requirement. | ||
| DESCRIPTION: | This is a junior level course which covers electromagnetic theory. | ||
| TAUGHT: | Fall | ||
| CONTENT AND TOPICS: | This course uses vector calculus and other advanced mathematical techniques to cover classical electricity and magnetism. The course builds upon and expands material and concepts that were covered in Physics 220. The course begins with a review of vector analysis and then continues with electrostatics and magnetostatics, and special techniques such as Laplace's Equation, the Method of Images, and multipole expansion. Electric and magnetic fields in matter are covered and the course concludes by covering electrodynamics. The material learned in this course will have a number of useful applications. Some of these applications include: wireless communication and semiconductor device physics. | ||
| GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: | 1.Understand the relationship between electrical charge, electrical field, and electrical potential. 2. Be able to use electromagnetic theory and principles in a wide range of applications. 3.Learn a variety of advanced mathematical methods and computer techniques. 4. Solve numerical problems involving topics covered. 5. Use lab activites to give insights into some of the topics. |
