Electromagnetism: Statics

Undergraduate

Classical electromagnetism focusing on stationary phenomena. Topics to be covered may include: electrostatics in vacuum, electric potential, conductors; magnetostatics in vacuum, currents, vector potential; electro- and magnetostatics in matter; techniques for Laplace’s equation, multipole expansion; electromagnetic induction. (Prerequisites: PHYS-2210, PHYS-2500, and MATH-3550 or PHYS- 3610.) (3 lecture hours per week.)
