Course Objectives The aim of this course is to deepen the student’s physics knowledge by teaching electromagnetism, which is one of the fundamental interactions in nature, using various mathematical techniques.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • discuss Maxwell’s equations on historical perspective.
  • determine the solutions of electrostatic problems analyzing Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations.
  • solve magnetostatic problems with Biot-Savart’s and Ampere’s law.
  • formulate electrodynamics problems as boundary value problems.
  • calculate electromagnetic force and energy.
Course Description Electrostatics, magnetostatics and Maxwell’s equations will be discussed using various different mathematical methods.
