The aims of this course are to:

■ introduce the principles of electromagnetic theory, and to apply these principles to engineering processes and devices;

■ provide an understanding of dielectric and magnetic materials;

■ introduce computer aided modelling of field and flux patterns in engineering components.

By the end of this course students will be able to:

1) Analyse electrostatic, magnetic and electromagnetic problems;

2) Evaluate and describe the effects of electric and magnetic fields on the matter and its constituents.

3) Apply Maxwell's equation formalism to analyse electrostatic, magnetic and electromagnetic problems

4) Apply experimental and numerical techniques for characterising dielectric and magnetic materials.

Students must attend the degree examination and submit at least 75% by weight of the other components of

the course's summative assessment.
