Field Theory

Mechanics, Waves, Optics and Thermodynamics, Electricity and Magnetism, Circuit Analysis B, Multivariable Calculus

After completing the course, the student is able to:

• explain the basic properties of static and dynamic electric and magnetic fields and their associated quantities using multivariate analysis,
• calculate field calculations in basic coordinate systems
• describe challenges and applications in which field theory expertise is required.

The course develops oral expression, written expression, lifelong learning, critical and analytical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
