Electromagnetism and its applications in Physics, the nature of electromagnetic waves in vacuum and various media, and of magnetism in solids.
|
To develop an understanding, at the undergraduate level, of electromagnetism and its applications in Physics, the nature of electromagnetic waves in vacuum and various media and of magnetism in solids. Describing the universe and the world around them.
|
Successful students will have gained an understanding of the central role played by the theory of electromagnetism in describing the universe and the world around them [1, 2].
They should be able to tackle problems and calculations in electromagnetism at a level appropriate to a final year dual
honours degree course [1, 2].
