Electromagnetism II University of Tsukuba

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.
