120 credits including Electromagnetism II/Electromagnetism and Mathematical Methods of Physics. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
In the course, classical electromagnetism will be described and derived. The course will give knowledge that makes a deep understanding possible as well as an ability to solve concrete problems in electromagnetic field theory. The course contains: repetition of vector analysis repetition of the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, including the polarisation field in dielectrics and the magnetisation field in magnetisable media potential theory (boundary value problems, uniqueness theorem, method of images, separation of variables) with applications in electrostatics, magnetostatics and stationary current distributions induction law and displacement current transformation of the electromagnetic field Maxwell's equations and derivation of circuit equations (Kirchhoff's laws) from Maxwell's equations Poynting's theorem wave equation, plane waves and a brief description of waves along different types of waveguides field penetration in conducting media skin depth generation of electromagnetic radiation (inhomogeneous wave equation, retarded potentials) electric dipole radiation field.
