II. Course Objectives
The objectives are to:
a. Provide the students with an understanding of the fundamental concepts of static electric and
magnetic fields as applied to the field of electrical engineering
b. Enable the students to bridge the gap between electromagnetic theory and engineering applications
c. Enable the students to qualitatively analyze and describe electromagnetic aspects of electrical
engineering problems
d. Enable the students to quantitatively analyze the electromagnetic behavior of simple physical
configurations
e. Enable the students to further develop mathematical and analytical problem solving skills
f. Equip the students with the necessary learning skills (mathematical and technical) for use in
other advanced courses such as electric machines and communication courses.
III. Course Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course will demonstrate the following outcomes:
a. Understand the fundamental concepts of electrostatic and magnetostatic fields and their associated scalar and vector potentials.
b. Develop competence in determining the electric fields and scalar potential of charged systems in cartesian, spherical and cylindrical configurations using Coulomb and Gauss’s Laws.
c. Develop competence in determining themagnetostatic fields and the magnetic potential of
current distributions using Biot-Savart Law, Ampere’s Law, Gauss’s Law, Laplace’s and
Poisson’s Equation for magnetostatics.
d. Develop competence in solving for the energy and energy densities of electrostatic and magnetostatic distributions.
e. Develop competence in solving problems associated with the phenomena of polarization and
magnetization.
f. Understand boundary conditions at interfaces of dielectrics and magnetic materials. Thus enabling the student to solve for electrostatic and magnetostatic fields from boundary relations.
g. Develop competence in solving electrostatic and magnetic boundary value problems described by cartesian, spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems using Laplace’s and Poisson’s Equation.
h. Understand the concept of capacitance and inductance. Relate the study of mutual inductance
and magnetically coupled circuits to the principles of transformers.
i. Understand the concept of magnetomotive force (mmf), reluctance and magnetic flux. Thus
enabling the student to construct and analyze magnetic circuits.
j. Develop competence in using the Lorentz force law on practical applications such as simple
machines and transmission lines.
k. Be able to summarize the entire theoretical content of electromagnetic theory through Maxwell’s equations.
