Principles of electricity and magnetism as well as their applications are taught in this course. Electrostatics, Boundary value problems of electrostatics, Electric current and magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, and Maxwell's equations are the topics for the study. These basic concepts will be the first step to mathematically formulate the basic knowledge of the phenomenological information learned in General Physics at the freshmen level. Topics include: electrostatics, solution of electrostatic problems, electrostatic field in dielectric media, microscopic theory of dielectrics, electrostatic energy, electric current, magnetic field of steady currents, electromagnetic induction, Maxwell's equations.
Recommended topical prerequisites: advanced calculus, vector analysis, differential equations, boundary value problems.
