Syllabus

Course overview and goals

In this lecture, we will study magnetostatics as sequel chapter of static electricity studied in Electricity and Magnetism I. After this, we will introduce a concept of temporal variation of electricity and magnetism and study their relations. Density of magnetic flux, Magnetic materials, Electromagnetic induction and Magnetic energy will be explained followed by explaining extended Ampere's law based on a concept of displacement current. Through lectures and excises in this class, basic of Electricity and Magnetism will be mastered.
