Electromagnetic dynamics I

Course Aims

Electromagnetic dynamics is one of the most important fields for all the natural science major students. Since electromagnetic dynamics can be applied to many fields of advanced physics or high technology devices, I would like all of you to understand the basics in this lecture.

Main focuses of this lecture are electrostatic field in vacuum and electrostatic field with dielectric bodies.

This course is mandatory for all the students in the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Information Engineering.
