Objectives For simple devices and circuits the student is expected to be able to calculate, analyse and sketch the electric and magnetic vector fields and calculate the circuit parameters C, R, L, M and the associated energy and forces.

Synopsis Vector fields for macroscopic electromagnetism. Electrostatics, dielectric materials, capacitance, energy and forces in electrostatic systems. Conduction of electric current. Magnetostatics, ferromagnetic materials, magnetic circuits, self inductance, magnetically coupled circuits, mutual inductance, energy and forces in magnetostatic systems. Electromagnetic induction, displacement current and assembly of Maxwell's equations and constitutive relations.

Assessment Examination (2 hours): 70%
