LEARNING OUTCOMES
Understanding of the concepts in electromagnetics: electric and magnetic fields, charges, currents, forces, energies, radiation, static and dynamic fields. Ability to solve quantitatively problems involving electromagnetic sources; to compute fields created by charges and currents in a given environment in basic geometrical constellations. Ability to connect, on a basic level, the mathematical description of electromagnetism into electrical engineering applications light phenomena of everyday life.
