Topics include electrostatics and Gauss' Law, magnetostatics and Ampere's Law, fields in material media, time-dependent phenomena and Faraday's Law, and Maxwell's equations. Prerequisites: PHY 202 and MAT 237. Fulfills: LASR. (4 cr. hr.)
Frequency code S = offered in spring
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Apply the methods of differential and integral vector calculus to solve problems related to phenomena in electrostatics, magnetostatics, and electrodynamics.
- Apply exact and approximate methods of solution of the electromagnetic field equations to solve problems.
- Identify, describe, and examine the symmetries at the foundation of electromagnetism.
- Apply the Maxwell equations to solve problems related to time dependent phenomena such as electromagnetic waves and light.
