The learning objectives of this course is to understand the basic theory and analysis method of electromagnetic fields and waves on the basis of advanced mathematics and college physics. This course focuses on the basic concepts, principles, laws and basic analysis methods of electromagnetic field, and its application in practical engineering problems. The recommended text book is "Field and Wave electromagnetics (second edition)", the author is David K. Cheng.
1. Understand and compute basic problems in vector algebra, including dot product, cross product, gradient, curl, divergence, etc.
2. Understand and analyze Electrostatic fields and currents.
3. Understand and analyze Static Magnetic fields and currents.
4. Understand and analyze time varying fields using Maxwell’s equations
5. Understand and explain basic principles of plane wave propagation and transmission lines.
Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment. In addition students must submit work for assessment for the course laboratory or a grade of credit withheld will be given.
Students must attend the timetabled laboratory classes.
Note that these are minimum requirements: good students will achieve far higher participation/submission rates. Any student who misses an assessment or a significant number of classes because of illness or other good cause should report this by completing a MyCampus absence report.
