Dynamic Electromagnetics

• The student can explain electromagnetic induction and apply Lenz's and Faraday's laws. The student can explain how eddy currents are related to induction and the distribution of fields in conductors.
• The student can write Ampere-Maxwell's law and interpret it in special cases. The student can write Gauss's laws for electric and magnetic fields and explain their contents.
• The student understands the nature of Maxwell's equations as universal laws of nature. The student can write constitutive equations and use them together with Maxwell's equations in solving electromagnetics problems.
• The student knows how the electromagnetic wave equation is formed from Maxwell's equations. The student can define a monochromatic plane wave and determine its key parameters. The student is aware that a wave attenuates when passing through a conducting medium and understands the factors influencing attenuation.
• The student knows that a wave reflects and refracts at a material interface and partially penetrates the interface. The student comprehends that predictions for these phenomena are derived from interface conditions. They can determine reflection and transmission coefficients at the interface.
• The student can explain how the polarization of an electromagnetic wave is determined and describe linear, circular, and elliptical polarization.
• The student is familiar with the meanings of the terms in Poynting's theorem and understands its role as a law of energy conservation. They can connect the terms to the operation of linear circuit components. The student can explain what electrical size of a device is at a chosen operating frequency and understand its significance concerning the applicability of circuit theory.
• The student can interpret simulation results of time-dependent electromagnetic problems and justify modeling assumptions based on electromagnetic theory. The student can employ mathematical analysis at the university level for problem-solving.
