PHYS 321 Electricity and Magnetism I
This course provides a vector-calculus based theoretical introduction to the fundamental concepts
of electrostatics and magnetostatics using grad, div and curl in Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical
coordinate systems. Topics include the electric field, potential and electrostatics in the presence of
matter. In magnetostatics, the magnetic field and vector potential are developed. Electromotive force and
electromagnetic induction lead on to Maxwell's equations, which are discussed in detail.
