COURSE DESCRIPTION
Fundamentally, this course focuses on the basic laws that govern static EM fields such as Coulomb’s law for
electrostatics and Biot Savart’s law for magnetostatics. Based on these laws, the nature and properties of
electrostatic and magnetostatic fields on material spaces, with applications in the real world, are explored.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
Understand and quantify the electrical effects of static charge distributions in vacuum and material body
Apply the laws governing electrostatic to different charge distributions
Understand and quantify the effects of charges moving with uniform velocity
Understand the elements of electrodynamics
Summarize electromagnetism through Maxwell’s equations
