Electromagnetic Field Theory

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: 1FA252

In the course, classical electromagnetism will be described and derived. The course will give knowledge that makes a deep understanding possible as well as an ability to solve concrete problems in electromagnetic field theory. The course contains: * repetition of vector analysis * repetition of the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, including the polarisation field in dielectrics and the magnetisation field in magnetisable media * potential theory (boundary value problems, uniqueness theorem, method of images, separation of variables) with applications in electrostatics, magnetostatics and stationary current distributions * induction law and displacement current * transformation of the electromagnetic field * Maxwell's equations and derivation of circuit equations (Kirchhoff's laws) from Maxwell's equations * Poynting's theorem * wave equation, plane waves and a brief description of waves along different types of waveguides * field penetration in conducting media * skin depth * generation of electromagnetic radiation (inhomogeneous wave equation, retarded potentials) * electric dipole radiation field.

Behörighet

120 credits including Electromagnetism II/Electromagnetism and Mathematical Methods of Physics. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
