Aims
- write the equations and calculate the electrostatic and electromagnetic fields for various structures containing conductors and charges
- understand the interaction between electromagnetic waves and materials and use properly the concepts of electric permittivity, magnetic permeability and conductivity to describe the materials for various applications
- apply Maxwell's equations and boundary conditions to solve simple electromagnetic radiation problems
- calculate the equivalent circuit (RLC) of a tri-dimensional structure under electromagnetic field
Main themes
Content and teaching methods
- Solving methods and solving of static problems : method of image, conformal mapping and separation of variables
