P 360 - Electricity and Magnetism I

Institution:

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

3 credits This course is an introduction to the physics of electricity and magnetism at the intermediate undergraduate level. It examines the experimental evidence that led to the development of the theories of electromagnetism (electrostatics, polarization and dielectrics, magnetostatics and magnetization, electrodynamics, electromagnetic waves, potentials and fields, and radiation) and the development of Maxwell's laws. The mathematical analysis of electromagnetic situations will use vector calculus to a great degree, so the student will also be exposed to working with a variety of vector operators. Prerequisites: M251and P211/212. Offered in alternate spring semesters.
