Course Code: KIE2007
Course Title: Basic Electromagnetics
Credit Hour: 3
Course Description: This course gives an introduction to static electromagnetic fields. The student is first given a grounding in vector analysis. Then, electrostatics are introduced, with emphasis on electrostatic vector fields, electrical materials, capacitors and its derived energy and forces. Then, magnetostatics are given similar treatment regarding magnetostatic vector fields, magnetic materials, inductors and its derived energy, force and torque. Boundary value problems in static electromagnetics are also addressed.
