Total Credits: 6 , Stage: Fourth, Module Convenor: Mr. Farhad M. Mahmood
Prerequisites: An understanding of Circuit analysis, Electricity and Magnetism, Electronic and Advanced Calculus
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.
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.
Having successfully completed this module, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
student can access and download the list of resources which they are beneficial for this module, just click the underlined references then you would be able to download them.

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
Plane Wave Solutions to Maxwell’s Equations Handout
A copy of this formula sheet will be available in the Examination. Therefore it is not necessarily to memorize that long equations !
You are therefore very strongly advised to familiarise yourself with it before the exam date !
