Catalog Description

Review of vector analysis. Static electric fields due to discrete and continuous charge distributions. Gauss's law, divergence, and Stokes' theorems. Electric potential. Dielectric materials in static electric fields. Boundary conditions. Laplace's equation and boundary value problems. Capacitance. Electrostatic force and energy. Image method. Steady electric currents. Static magnetic fields: Biot-Savart law and Ampere's law. Magnetic materials in magnetic fields. Vector magnetic potential. Inductance. Magnetic force and energy. Time-independent Maxwell's equations.

Course Objectives

This course aims to enable students to recognize fundamental topics in vector calculus, explain the principles of static electromagnetics, and proficiently apply Gauss's law, divergence, and Stokes' theorems to compute static electric and magnetic fields. Additionally, students will learn to analyze boundary conditions at media intersections, evaluate Biot-Savart and Ampere's laws for diverse current-carrying conductors, and formulate Maxwell's equations in both point and integral forms.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Recognize the basic topics of vector calculus,
(2) Explain the basic principles of static electromagnetics,
(3) Apply Gauss's law, divergence, and Stokes' theorems for the calculation of static electric and magnetic fields,
(4) Analyze boundary conditions for the intersections of different media, and boundary value problems,
(5) Evaluate Biot-Savart and Ampere's laws for various types of current-carrying conductors,
(6) Formulate Maxwell's equations for static electromagnetic problems in both the point form and integral form.
