PHYS 5060 - Electromagnetic Theory I (3)

Prerequisites: PHYS 4070. This course, the first of a two semester sequence, is a graduate level course covering the theory and application of Maxwell’s equations. Topics to be covered in this course include: electric potentials and electric fields arising from static charge distributions, effects of conducting surfaces on electric fields; electrostatics of polarizable media, magnetic fields from steady currents, magnetic fields in permeable media, energy and momentum of electromagnetic fields and gauge transformations of electromagnetic fields. Mastery of these topics will result in a clear understanding of the nature and calculation of electromagnetic fields in realistic physical systems. (Three hours lecture per week.).
