Winter Semester 2019/20
Electromagnetism - engineering physics IS-FEE-10046
To acquaint students with chosen electromagnetic phenomena. To show students mathematical formulation of the electromagnetic field theory, inc. vector calculus. Prestatation of some examples concerning electric, magnetic and current flow fields.
Lecture:
Principles of vector calculus: vector algebra, vector analysis.
Assumptions of electromagnetic field (EM) theory,
Electrostatics (Coulomb’s law, electrostatic field). Magnetostatics (Ampère’s law, magnetostatic field). Currents and conductors:
current distributions, continuity of current, static electroconductive field, power losses.
Electromagnetic potentials. Interface conditions.
Maxwell’s macroscopic equations, the energy theorem.
Electrodynamics (equation of continuity for electric chargé, displacement current, electromotive force, Faraday’s law of induction).
Electromagnetic field: equations, power and the Poynting vector, conditions of continuity, interactions between the EM waves and
materials. Electric polarisation and displacement, electric multipole moments, magnetisation, energy.
Specialization workshop:
Solving selected issues related to electrostatic, magnetostatics and current flow problems. The examples are solved using some
computer applications and numerical methods.
Requirements:
Students are expected to have knowledge in the field of mathematics, physics, circuit theory, digital and analog electronics, fundamentals of computer
science. The general requirement is that student finished studies on the bachelor�s level in the area of electrical engineering, electronics and
telecommunication or related. In some cases prerequisites are defined.
