Program Overview

Course Description

The course provides a vector-calculus based theoretical introduction to the fundamental concepts of electrostatics and magnetostatics using grad, div, and curl in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems.

Course Topics

• The electric field
• Potential and electrostatics in the presence of matter
• In magnetostatics, the magnetic field and vector potential are developed
• Electromotive force and electromagnetic induction lead on to Maxwell's equations, which are discussed in detail

Course Period

The course period is from 23/08/20.
