Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental interactions in nature. It is of great importance to learn the subject for understanding many natural phenomena.The goal of the course is to give an introduction and fundamental understanding of electromagnetic wave, wave guide and relativity. Moreore, the course will equip students with the mathematical tools and fundamental laws in electromagnetism for more advanced subjects, such as electrodynamics and antenna theory. To build up the mathematical skills and exercise the electromagnetic knowledge, in-class exercises, computer simulation, quizzes and bi-weekly homework will be assigned to students.
電磁學是四大力學之一，為了解自然現象的重要一環。本課程將介紹電磁波、波導管、相對論，目標是幫助學生建立數學工具並瞭解電磁學基本定律，未來可以再學習更高階的課程，如電動力學、天線理論。課程中會配合模擬軟體，用視覺化方式理解電磁場。為幫助學生更熟悉，課程中會安排小考、課堂操作、課堂演習。
能力項目說明
In the end of the course, the students will be able to explain the basic laws in electromagnetics, master vector analysis, solve electromagnetic wave problems in vacuum and in matter, solve for the time-varying fields. These knowledge and techniques can be applied in more advanced studies and applications.
學生能夠解釋電磁學的基本定律、熟悉向量分析、解真空及物質中的電磁波問題，並奠基電磁學在工程應用的基礎。
