ECE259: Electromagnetism
Course objectives
Electric and magnetic fields are not only involved in many physical phenomena (strength of materials, bioelectricity, lightning etc.), but they are also underpinning current and emerging technologies such as wireless/wireline communications, radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, magnetic levitation, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), wireless power transfer (and the related concept of wireless batteries), near-field
communications (NFC) and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). This course is aimed at providing students with the ability to understand the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism and their relation to some of
their most exciting current applications.

Textbook
D. K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Addison Wesley, 2nd edition, 1992.
The UofT bookstore has a special package that includes Cheng’s book and an access code for the companion
website of the book: B. Notaros, Electromagnetics (not required). The companion website includes conceptual
questions that are useful for understanding the course material. Some of these questions will be discussed in
lectures and tutorials.

1. The term tests and the final exam are closed book, with only non-programmable calculators (Type 2)
allowed. A set of aid sheets will be provided with your tests and the final exam. These will be made
available on the course website.
Term test 1 is currently scheduled for Feb 11th, 9:10-10:30 am in EX100. Term test 2 is currently scheduled for Mar 17th, 9:10-10:30 am, in EX300, 310, 320.

2. A vector calculus quiz will be held in the last 15 minutes of the second tutorial (week of January 18). To
prepare for the quiz, a two-hour tutorial session will be held on January 7: 6-8pm, LEC01 in BA1170,
LEC02 in BA1180. Also, the first week of tutorials will be dedicated to vector calculus review. The
material for this is included in Cheng’s ch. 2 and is closely related to the vector calculus part of AER210.
Students are expected to review this material.
3. Ten, equally weighted 10 minute, closed book quizzes will be tentatively held at the end of tutorial
sessions 3-12.
4. Tutorial participation mark will be based on students’ participation in the discussion of conceptual questions during the tutorials. The tutorial TAs will ensure that all students will be given the opportunity to
receive a participation mark.

1 The
tutorials will be coordinated with the lectures and will cover material that both supports and advances
lecture topics.
Homework sets and Reading Assignment
Each week, a set of suggested problems will be posted on the course website. The problems will deal with
material covered in the lectures that week. Some of these problems will be covered in the tutorials of the
following week.
Reading assignments can be found on the course timetable, available on the course website. These assignments
are designed to help you prepare for the lectures of the following week. This way we can use the lecture time
more effectively to discuss examples and real-life applications of electric and magnetic fields.
Term work petitions
If you are unavoidably absent and miss term work (e.g. test, quiz, assignment, lab), discuss the matter with your
instructor immediately. If necessary, submit a term work petition.
Effective Summer 2015, all term work petitions must be submitted through the online petition system, which is
accessible through the Engineering Portal http://www.apsc.utoronto.ca/portal/
Term work petitions must be submitted within seven days of the term work in question and include valid
documentation.
The weight of all missed coursework will be transferred to the final exam.
For further information about petitions, see http://www.undergrad.engineering.utoronto.ca/
Office_of_the_Registrar/Petitions.htm
Academic offenses
Academic offences will be directly referred to and dealt with by the Dean’s office. The relevant procedures
for dealing with academic offenses can be found on the Academic Calendar http://www.undergrad.
engineering.utoronto.ca/Office_of_the_Registrar/Academic_Calendar.htm
Representative examples of what is considered an academic offense are: any collaboration during an exam,
use of unauthorized aids during an exam, continuing to write an exam after the end of the exam has been
announced.
