Topic outline

  • General

    In this six-week course we shall focus on the interesting phenomenon of electromagnetism. How are electric and magnetic fields created, how do they interact and how do electromagnetic waves propagate? Lectures on Mondays 12-14, Wednesdays 10-12, and on Thursdays 10-12. We'll start on Monday, 28 February, in Hall TU7 (TUAS-talo, Maarintie 8).

    We will closely follow the textbook, David K. Cheng: Fundamentals of Engineering Electromagnetics (several editions). The book Field and Wave Electromagnetics by the same author is a more extensive version of the same material, and is also a good source, containing additional details for any interested student.

    Homework problems are to be returned weekly. They are graded and their outcome forms 50% of the final grade of the course. The other half comes from the course exam on Wednesday 13 April.

    Welcome to the course!
