Module Aims:
To develop knowledge of the laws governing the behaviour of
electromagnetic
fields
,
and to relate the
laws governing the fields to applications in a range of electrical and electronic engineering applications.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and Understanding:
At the completion of this module, the student
should be able to:
1.
use vectors and demonstrate an understanding of charge behaviour relating to electric fields;
2
.
demonstrate an understanding of Gauss
' law and Maxwell's
equations and use these to solve
problems relating to electric
and magnetic
fie
lds;
3.
apply electromagnetic
theory to
material properties;
4.
simulate electromagnetic
field behaviour.
Transferable/Key Skills and other attributes:
