Content:

Without Electrodynamics, without the theory of Maxwell, Faraday, Ampere, Oersted, et al. about electric,magnetic, and electromagnetic phenomena like conduction, induction, and electromagnetic fields and waves, our modern world with all its achievements in electricity, electronics and communications would not exist. This course gives an understanding about the basis in the field of electrodynamics. The focus is on the discussion of Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic wave phenomena.

  • Mathematical background of electrodynamics (scalar and vector fields, vector operations grad, div, curl, complex notation)

  • Maxwell’s equations

  • Boundary conditions

  • Electromagnetic wave equation and their solutions

  • Polarization of electromagnetic waves

  • Poynting vector field

  • Reflection and refraction at interfaces


Examination:

written examination, 2 hours
