Course
Objectives:
The overall objective of this course is to provide the student with the knowledge and
proficiency to analyse electrostatic sources and the resulting electric fields, magnetostatic
sources and the resulting mgetic fields. In addition the student is introduced to the
concepts of electric and magnetic characteristics of materials.
Textbook, class handouts, scientific calculator, and an access to a personal computer.
Classroom with blackboard (projection display facilities will be useful), library, and
computational facilities.
