Course Overview

This lecture starts from magnetostatics and compares with those properties of electrostatics. The electromagnetic induction is then revealed from the time-dependent variation of electric or magnetic field. All the principles of electric and magnetic fields are summarized in Maxwell’s equations. Electromagnetic (EM) waves are finally presented to discuss the EM properties of dielectrics and metals.

Learning Achievement

The students can resolve problems in normal physics, involving the magnetostatics and electromagnetic field, and are able to use electromagnetic equations to derive the highlighted field properties.

Competence

After the course of electrostatics, the further progresses to learn magnetostatics and time-dependent variation of electromagnetic field are necessary. The course, Electromagnetism II, guides undergraduate students to have field properties of electric/magnetic field and practice exercises to resolve the problems in normal physics. Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves are the advanced courses to lead students to be capable of using key equations logically.

Course prerequisites

Electromagnetism I and Calculus

Grading Philosophy

Examination (50%), handout (10%), and homework (40%)
Examination is held at the end of spring semester module B and scored with 50% of the final grade. Handout operation is inspected with 10% of the final grade. The other 40% of the final grade will be considered from the homework assignment in the spring semester.
