Objectives:

Give general knowledge and skills in electromagnetism on a master-degree level.

Content:

The course contain subjects like: electric and magnetic fields and potentials; Maxwell¿s equations; conservation laws; electromagnetic radiation in different materials; relativistic electrodynamics; and mathematical techniques used to solve electromagnetic problems.

On completion of the course

the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

After completing the course, students should have

• General knowledge in electromagnetism on a master-student level.

Skills

After completing the course, students should be able to

• Explain different electromagnetic concepts and laws.
• Solve mathematical problems in all electromagnetic disciplines covered by the course.

The forms of assessment are:

• Written examination (4 hours), 100% of total grade.

Due to the measures taken to avoid the spread of Covid-19, UiB is closed for on-campus assessment. As a consequence, the following changes is made to assessment autumn semester 2020:
