• apply vector analysis (divergence, gradient, curl, the Gauss and Stokes theorems) in electromagnetic problems.
• calculate electrostatic forces, fields, and potentials associated with simple or symmetrical charge distributions.
• calculate magnetic forces, fields, and vector potentials associated with simple or symmetrical current distributions.
• calculate electromagnetic fields in matter with polarization and magnetization.
• determine the electric and magnetic field energy and the associated work and energy flux density.
• calculate induced magnetic and electric fields using the law of induction and displacement currents.
• solve Maxwell’s equations with boundary conditions in problems with more than one material.
• explain the electromagnetic principles of solenoids, transformers, and DC motors.
• interpret Maxwell’s equations as a basis for explaining and determining electromagnetic waves in vacuum and in matter.
• explain the electromagnetic principles in optics.
• apply electrostatics to calculate extracellular potentials from bioelectric current sources.
• explain how coils are used to create magnetic fields, such as those used in an MRI scanner.

This is a course in Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism.
