PHYS 704 Advanced Electromagnetic Theory
The course provides an overview of classical electrodynamic theory, with an emphasis on time-dependent electric and magnetic fields. The course also provides explanation of wave function and Green’s function, wave propagation in vacuum and in different medium. Waveguides structures, resonance cavity modes, energy flow in waveguides are covered. Radiation systems, multipole radiation and multipole expansions of electromagnetic field are explained. Dynamics of relativistic particles and radiation from moving charges are also discussed, including Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods in electrodynamics and Lienard-Wiechert potentials.
