Course Outline: |
Focus is on
electrostatics and magnetostatics as
well as related topics from vector analysis, mathematical physics and
electrical engineering. It is tailored to the needs of electrical and
computer engineering, and, therefore, emphasizes applications in technology
and professional electromagnetic software for computer-aided design. Lectures
cover: 1. Mathematical basics:
vector algebra, vector calculus, coordinate systems and transformations 2. Electrostatics in vacuum 3. Current and conductors 4. Dielectrics and
capacitance 5. The steady magnetic field
in nonmagnetic media 6. Magnetic force, torque and
energy 7. Inductance |

Reminder
on Academic Dishonesty Policy: Academic dishonesty consists of
misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in
serious consequences, e.g., the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of
credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: "Grade of F
assigned for academic dishonesty"), and/or suspension or expulsion from
the university. It is your responsibility to
understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the
various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity
Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/univsec/policy/AcademicIntegrity.pdf
The following illustrates only
three forms of academic dishonesty: ·
Plagiarism,
e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own or for which other credit
has been obtained. ·
Improper
collaboration in group work. ·
Copying
or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations. |
