Course summary

In this course, I indoctrinate Electromagnetism by trying a set of combinations of Concepts and Laws that govern the physical behavior of Electricity and Magnetism. We’ll absorb that its concepts and applications underlie the working of household instruments, electric motors, and electric power generation. The second part of the course consists of the treatment of Electric charges in movement; such as a current-carrying wire, later on, we qualify electric current and resistors.

Course definition

This is the second course in the two-semester fundamental sequence of calculus-based physics. All engineering students can take this elective course, however, it is more suitable and convenient for Electrical and Computer engineering students. Phy102 and Calculus are prerequisites for this course. Furthermore, the description of the Magnetic field and its application is also followed by studying the Magnetism theory via Faraday and Maxwell's equations. This course also visages a personalized learning format wherein students can choose to pick in or out of select ingredients of this course, to help customize their learning experience.

Learning outcomes

• Apply different coordinate systems and explain the concept of the Gradient, Divergence, and Curl of a vector,
• Apply the two famous laws of Coulomb and Gauss for the evaluation of the Electric fields produced by different charge configurations,
• Evaluate the Energy and Potential due to a system of charges,
• Illustrate the behavior of the Electric field between a conductor and dielectric and also between two different dielectrics by applying boundary conditions,
• Clarify the configuration and properties of the Magnetic fields and Magnetic materials,
• Distinguish the time-varying fields and propagation of waves in different mediums.

Aim of the course

• Learning different coordinate systems such as spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems and explaining the concept of the Gradient, Divergence, and Curl of a vector,
• Use Coulomb and Gauss laws for the evaluation of the Electric fields produced by different charge geometries,
• Estimation of the Energy and Potential due to a system of charges,
• Illuminate the properties of the Magnetic fields and Magnetic materials,
• Specify the time-varying fields and propagation of waves in different mediums.

What will participants learn in this course?

• Applications in Microcavity Laser Design,
• Applications in Ultrahigh-Speed Photonic Integrated Circuits,
• Applications in High-Speed Electronics,
• The Heritage of Military Defense Applications,
• Imaging of the Human Body.

Why should I take this course? 

Electromagnetics (EM) is a subject related to electromagnetic fields. An electromagnetic field is composed of interdependent electric and magnetic fields, which is the case when the fields are varying with time, that is, they are dynamic. An electric field is a force field that acts upon material bodies by virtue of its property of charge, just as a gravitational field is a force field that acts upon them by virtue of its property of mass. A magnetic field is a force field that acts upon charges in motion. EM is all around us. In simple terms, every time we turn a power switch on, every time we press a key on our computer keyboard, or every time we perform a similar action involving an everyday electrical device, EM comes into play. It is the foundation for the technologies of electrical and computer engineering, spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from DC to light, from the electrically and magnetically based (electromechanics) technologies to the electronics technologies to the photonics technologies. As such, in the context of engineering education, it is fundamental to the study of electrical and computer engineering.

Target audience

Master and Undergraduate students of Engineering. Especially Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Who should take this course?

Since this course is an elective course of the Engineering department, all engineering students can take this course, especially Electrical and Computer Engineering. (not recommended for Civil Engineers).
