Electromagnetism

This module deals with the mathematical formulation and applications of electromagnetic theory.

1. Explain complex concepts and principles relating to electromagnetism.

2. Develop knowledge in the application of differential calculus, integral calculus and curvilinear coordinate systems to complex problems and concepts in electromagnetism.

3. Apply Maxwell's equations and/or set up integrals to evaluate electromagnetic quantities due to various charge distributions and current configurations.

4. Demonstrate a conceptual and theoretical understanding of Maxwell's equations in vacuum, dielectrics, magnetic and conducting media.

5. Solve Maxwell's equations to determine wave equations and plane wave solutions, to describe electromagnetic wave propagation, in vacuum, dielectrics and conducting media.

6. Demonstrate a conceptual and theoretical understanding of the potential formulation of electromagnetism.

7. Demonstrate a conceptual and theoretical understanding of charge and energy conservation in electromagnetism.
