Objectives
Knowledge and ability to handle with classical electromagnetism laws in differential and time-dependent formalisms (Maxwell equations). As well as in stationary and integral forms. Understanding the relationship between electromagnetic field and its sources: charges and currents. Being able to apply the equations for the development of simple physical models of high symmetry Ability to formulate and solve electromagnetic problems in direct mode: How to charges and currents generate EM fields and the effects of EM field on charges and currents. Understanding the effect of media on the EM field and the boundary conditions between two media. Understanding how the temporal variation of the electric and magnetic fields are in turn sources of electromagnetic field Understanding of electromagnetic waves, as a particular solution of the electromagnetic field generated by oscillating sources Understanding the basic concepts of Wave Optics as an extension of Electromagnetic Waves at optical frequencies. Summarising, the ability to understand the fundamentals of most phenomena and applications based on electromagnetism.
