University of Nottingham School of Mathematical Sciences G13 ELM Academic Session: ELECTROMAGNETISM 10 credits Autumn Semester, 2003/2004 Lecturer: Dr R H Tew, Division of Applied Mathematics, School of Mathematical Sciences, Room: Pope B22 (Internal extension: 13855; Email: [email protected]) Pre-requisites A knowledge of vector analysis is required to a level such as is provided by the module HG2 VAF. Module Aims This module introduces electromagnetism by appealing to familiar concepts such as charge and current. The fluxes of these quantities are related to fields via the Maxwell equations. These equations are obtained in differential and integral form and applied to examine the behaviour of the electromagnetic fields in a variety of circumstances. The module culminates with the demonstration that light is an electromagnetic phenomenon. Module Content Electrostatics Electric charge and charge conservation, Coulomb's law, Gauss' law, electric potential, dipoles, conductors, capacitance, electrostatic energy. Dielectrics. Magnetostatics Current, resistance, Lorentz force, Ampere's law, Biot-Savart law, vector potential, dipoles, magnetism in matter. Electrodynamics Induction, Faraday's law, mutual & self inductance, magnetic energy. Maxwell's equations. Wave equations and light, electromagnetic energy and Poynting's theorem. Methods of Teaching There are two one-hour lectures per week, with a one-hour examples class in alternate weeks. The intention is to use the examples classes to cover examinationlevel examples of the topics covered, though other appropriate examples will also form an integral part of the lecture material. Lectures will be held at the following times during term: Friday 9.00 am Friday 10.00am Coates C35 Coates C35 and the first examples class will be held on: Tuesday 21 October 2003, 9.00am Coates A7 and fortnightly thereafter (i.e. during subsequent even weeks of term). Module Assessment The module assessment will comprise a two-hour written examination (90%) and one coursework assignment (10%). Any re-assessment will be by examination only. The rubric for the examination paper appears later in this document. The coursework setting and submission dates are: Coursework 1 Set: Submit for marking: Friday 14 November 2003 Friday 28 November 2003 G13ELM Electromagnetism Module Texts RECOMMENDED TEXTS I. S.
