Course Summary: This course provides an introduction to Maxwell’s equations and their applications to engineering problems. Topics include the physical meaning of Curl, Gradient and Divergence; physical meaning of Maxwell’s point relations along with Maxwell’s integral relations, Electrostatics, magnetostatics, time-varying fields, waves and propagation, force, energy, oblique incidence of light, boundary conditions, Poynting vector, cavity, different co-ordinate systems and antennas.
Course Objectives: The objectives of this course are
- to introduce Maxwell’s equations, their physical meaning and applications.
- to use Curl, Gradient and Divergence for electromagnetic and real world problems.
- to expose students in the real world problems of electromagnetism such as application
- of interface/boundary conditions.
- to be familiar with the electrostatics and magnetostatics along with time varying fields and waves.
- to analyse complex theoretical problems such as waves and propagation, oblique incidence of light, Poynting vector and boundary conditions.
- to introduce with cavity (or waveguides) and antenna analysis.
