Description
Outline and Aims:
This module aims to provide students with a foundation in electricity and magnetism. It covers basic electric, magnetic and electromagnetic phenomena, and shows how these are described by vector calculus, culminating in a description of Maxwell鈥檚 equations.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this module, a student should be able to understand the basic laws of electrostatics, magnetostatics and time-varying electric and magnetic fields. They should be able to express them in mathematical form and solve simple problems, including an analysis of DC and AC circuits.
Teaching and Learning Methodology:
This module is delivered via weekly lectures supplemented by a series of problem solving tutorials and additional discussion.
In addition to timetabled lecture and PST hours, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.
