ELECTROMAGNETICS I

WELCOME MY ELECTROMAGNETIZED STUDENTS!

Hope you find this course interesting and have at least some fun with it! Don’t hesitate to contact me by email or at my office hours.

Course Objective: The student will be introduced to Electrostatic and Magnetostatic.  Dielectric, magnetic, and conducting materials will be discussed as well as capacitance, inductance, and conductivity. Also, magnetic circuits, dielectric and magnetic hysteresis will be discussed. By the end of the semester, Maxwell’s equations and transmission line theory will be introduced along with time-varying electric and magnetic fields
