ET 4250 - Electromagnetic Field Applications

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is a continuation of ET-3201 and ET-4261. Electrostatic and magnetostatic fields are extended to potentials, time-dependent electromagnetic fields, and Maxwell’s equations through the concepts of Faraday’s law and displacement current. Several application topics are covered in both the lecture and laboratory, including magnetic circuits, mutual inductors, antenna radiation and links, and an introduction to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal integrity. (prereq: ET 3060  , ET 4261  )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• Determine potential difference from electric field intensity, especially in capacitance calculations
• Determine the magnetic field intensity for idealized current distribution using Ampere’s Circuital law
• Determine the current for a desired flux value in a series magnetic circuit with or without an air gap
• Determine inductance and impedance in mutual inductor circuits
• Describe the meaning of each term in Maxwell’s equation in integral form
• Calculate power and power density of electromagnetic plane waves.
• Determine losses and power levels in antenna links
• Describe the basic principles of signal integrity (SI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
