Course Description
COURSE CONTENTS
  • Course contents: Maxwell’s equations (integral equations, differential equations, Boundary conditions). State equations. Charge distribution, current distribution, charge conservation law. Electrostatic Field. Magnetostatic Field. Wave equation. Time harmonic waves. Phasors. Electromagnetic potentials. Plane Waves. Electromagnetic Energy and Power (Poynting Vector, Energy conservation law). Wave Polarization. Reflection and Transmission of Plane Waves. Standing waves. Introduction to transmission lines.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

  • Verify the feasibility of an electromagnetic field.
  • Determine the electromagnetic field produced by simple charge and current distributions.
  • Calculate the charge and current distributions given the electromagnetic field.
  • Solve boundary problems.
  • Analyze time variant electromagnetic problems by employing phasors and/or time domain equations.
  • Determine electromagnetic energy and power
ASSESSMENT
  • Assessment: Written exam at the end of the semester. It is possible that a written interim exam will be held, which will contribute to the final grade with a percentage up to 20%.
