Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply different analytical methods based on integration and
Gauss law to derive the electric field intensity due to
discrete and continuous charges. Students will be able to
describe the electric
2.
Describe capacitance of capacitors in different geometries
and circuit arrangements (parallel plate, cylindrical,
spherical, series and parallel connection).
3.
Explain the electric potential and charge distribution in an
electrostatic system as well as their magnetostatic
parameters.
4.
Explain magnetostatic field due to a steady current in
different geometries, using the Biot-Savart law.
Synopsis
Vector analysis, electrostatic fields, electric potential,
polarisation, capacitance, electrostatic energy and forces,
magnetostatic fields, inductance, magnetostatic energy and
forces.
