OVERVIEW

The course of ‘Introduction to Electromagnetic Theory’, introduces students to

handling electromagnetic theory using vector calculus. This enables students to
handle problems that are more complicated than they are used to from their school
days. Electromagnetic Theory covers the Electrostatics in vacuum and linear
dielectric medium; Calculation of electric field and electrostatic potential for a charge
distribution; Magnetostatics; Boundary conditions on B and H; Faraday’s law;
Maxwell’s equations; Energy in an electromagnetic field, Flow of energy and Poynting
vector; Electromagnetic waves; The wave equation, Plane electromagnetic waves in
vacuum, their characteristics, energy carried by electromagnetic waves; Reflection
and transmission of electromagnetic waves from a non-conducting medium-vacuum
interface for normal incidence. This is a graduate level subject which uses
appropriate mathematics but whose emphasis is on physical phenomena and
principles.
