Electromagnetic Theory

Total Credits: 6 , Stage: Fourth, Module Convenor: Mr. Farhad M. Mahmood

Prerequisites: An understanding of Circuit analysis, Electricity and Magnetism, Electronic and Advanced Calculus

Module Overview

This module introduces and develops the knowledge in fundamental electromagnetic . The course presents the basic concepts of electromagnetic theory from a physical and application point of view. The vector algebra used in electromagnetic theory is introduced in the electromagnetic field context. The course uses numerical methods to solve and visualize electromagnetic fields for simple problems so that students gain a better understanding of the electromagnetic field theory.

Course Aims:

To provide students with an opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the key principles and applications of Electromagnetic Theory, and their relevance to current developments in physics, at a level appropriate for a professional physicist.

Course Material and Lecture notes: students can download the handouts and lecture note through the following links, because no hard copy (paper copy) will be given during the lectures, so it the responsibility of the students to check the availability of the lecture notes online. I will try my best to upload the lectures file at least a day before the lecture date. furthermore, additional resources and reference book will be provided to the students in the same way.

Important Note: some of the lecture notes , problem and solution sheets are confidential ( restricted to the Physics department students due to the privacy and policy of department, so please be aware for accessing some of the file you must have a password in advance, which would be given to the students during the lecture time, if you have any difficulties or concern regarding this, do not hesitate to contact me by email: farhad.mahmood@halabjauni.org
