PHY 302 - Electromagnetic Theory II


A study of time-dependent electric and magnetic fields as derived from Maxwell’s equations. Topics include the interrelations of electric and magnetic fields and their potentials; energy and momentum associated with electromagnetic fields and the Maxwell vacuum and matter; waveguides and transmission lines; special relativity for electromagnetism; retarded potentials for time-varying sources; and radiation of electromagnetic waves.
