Objectives and competences

The objective of this course is that students will get theoretical knowledge about electromagnetic field.

Content (Syllabus outline)

• Introduction: vector analysis, types of physical fields, review of basic equations. • Electrostatic field: in a vacuum, in a dielectric and in a conducting bodies, Coulomb’s Law, Gauss’s Law, boundary conditions, electric scalar potential, Laplace's and Poisson's equation, capacitance, electric forces and energy. • Current field: conservation of electric charge, current density, resistance, Joule’s Law, boundary conditions for current field. • Magnetostatic field: in a vacuum, in a linear and in a non-linear magnetic materials, Ampere’s Law, Biot-Savart's law, field of permanent magnets, boundary condition, magnetic potential, inductance, magnetic forces and energy. • Time-varying electromagnetic field: system of Maxwell's equations, displacement current, the Faraday's law, boundary conditions, the Poynting's theorem, quasi-static field,eddy current, skin effect. • Plane-electromagnetic wave: wave equation, wave propagation, reflection and refraction in the ideal and real medium, linear, circular and elliptical polarization, antennas, Hertzian dipole. • The review of analytical and numerical methods for the calculation of the electromagnetic field.

Learning and teaching methods
