Fields and Components I

Objective

Understanding of Maxwell's field theory with respect to its application to engineering problems

Content

Electrostatics: electric charge, force and electric field, Coulomb's law, Gauss' law of electrostatic, scalar potential, voltage, energy of the electrostatic field, polarisation of material, displacement density, capacity, DC current density, resistivity.
Magnetostatics: Ampère's and Biot-Savart's law, magnetisation, magnetic circuit. Induction and transformer, electromechanical energy conversion. Displacement current, Maxwell's equations, solutions to Maxwell's equations in free space (plane wave) and with sources (generalized Coulomb integrals). Potentials. Energy in the electromagnetic field, Poynting vector, link between network parameters and electromagnetic fields.
