Course Objectives:

The goal of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of of electromagnetic field theory. Especially, stationary fields of electrostatics and magnetostatics are covered. This course aims to visualize 3D fields and vector fields. The conecpts that’s been taught in circuit courses such as voltage, current, power, resistor, capacitor and inductor are scrutinized.

Course Content:

Fundamental laws, electric charge, Coulomb’s law, electrostatics in free space, electrostatic energy, surface charges and Dirac distribution, boundary conditions, Lorents force law, magnetostatics in free space, magnetic energy, magnetic dipoles and permanent magnets. Maxwell’s equations and self/mutual inductance.

Course Methodology:

1: Lecture, 2: Problem solving, 3: Simulation, 4: Seminar , 5: Multidiscilinary group project, 6: Laboratuary, 7: Semester research project, 8 İnvited speaker, 9 Sample project review
