Course Objectives The main objective of this course is to teach the fundamental laws of electromagnetic theory and introduce students to their applications.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will develop a solid understanding of the fundamental laws governing the electromagnetic phenomena.
  • will be able to discuss the concepts of electric charge, electric current, as well as the electric and magnetic fields.
  • will be able to analyze and solve Maxwell’s equations, which are considered as the cornerstone of the electromagnetic theory.
  • will be able to develop mathematical and physical knowledge on the behavior of electromagnetic waves in nature.
  • will be able to examine direct and alternating current circuits.
  • will be able to utilize experimental setups, collect and analyze data.
Course Description In this course, we will cover the topics of electric field and charge, Gauss’s law, electric potential, capacitance and dielectrics, current, resistance and electromotive force, direct-current circuits, magnetic field and magnetic field sources, induction, alternating current and electromagnetic waves.
