ELECTRODYNAMICS I

ECE 219

Reviews basic calculations in electromagnetic engineering upon which all higher level concepts and physical model construction are based. It emphasizes quantitative calculation mastery in three spatial dimensions. Applies analysis tools from vector calculus to the calculation and prediction of electrical system properties. Examples include calculating electric and magnetic fields, electric potentials, total electric charge, and electric flux from change or current sources.

PHYSICS 721

Electrostatics, magnetostatics, Green functions, boundary value problems, macroscopic media, Maxwell's equations, the stress tensor and conservation laws, electromagnetic waves, wave propagation, dispersion, waveguides, radiation, multipole expansions, diffraction and scattering, special relativity, covariance of Maxwell's equations, Lienard-Wiechert potentials, radiation by accelerated charges. Knowledge of electrodynamics (such asPHYSICS 322) strongly encouraged.

ECE 740

Time harmonic fields and waves in linear media with applications to radiation, guiding and scattering; wave and surface impedance and admittance concepts; duality, uniqueness, image theory, equivalence principle, induction and compensation theorems, reciprocity, Green's functions, wave functions, potential and transform theory. Knowledge of electromagnetics [such asE C E 420] strongly encouraged.
