| February 27 - March 2
| 1 and 2
| Electromagnetic model, field concepts. Vector algebra, vector analysis.
|
2 | March 6-10 | 3 | Electrostatics. Coulomb's law, scalar potential, electric dipole, permittivity, conductors and insulators, capacitance, electrostatic energy and forces
|
3 | March 13-16 | 4 and 5
| Static electric currents, Ohm's law, conductivity. Magnetostatics, Biot-Savart's law, vector potential, permeability, magnetic dipole, inductance
