IV Spring (2018-2019, 2019-2020)

Lärandemål (är i kraft 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

After the course, the student is expected to be able to (1) explain electromagnetic phenomena considered in the course and physical quantities describing them, (2) apply the key equations of the considered phenomena to solving related practical problems, (3) design and construct experimental setups to demonstrate these phenomena and study their properties, and (4) properly report on and analyze the results of the conducted theoretical and experimental studies.

Innehåll (är i kraft 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

The course provides an introduction to classical electromagnetism, explaining the fundamentals of both static and time-varying electric and magnetic fields. The essential topics include: static electric fields in free space and in dielectrics, static magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, Maxwell's equations, creation and propagation of electromagnetic waves, and basic optical phenomena. The course contains lectures, exercise sessions and two laboratory projects.
