EE 3202 - Electric and Magnetic Fields3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
The primary goal of this course is to develop an understanding of the physical properties of electric and magnetic fields, which is the basis for electromagnetic field applications in electrical engineering. The associated mathematical vector analysis techniques serve as the vehicle to determine, analyze, and interpret electric and magnetic fields in various coordinate systems. Topics include vector algebra and calculus in the Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems, Coulomb’s law, Gauss’s law, electric potential, capacitance, and Biot-Savart law. (prereq: MA 232 , PH 2020 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Apply vector and calculus techniques to the solution of electromagnetic field problems in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems.
- Apply Coulomb’s law, Gauss’s law, potential, and Biot-Savart law to determine the analytical expressions of the electric and magnetic fields produced under idealized geometrical conditions.
- Describe capacitancein terms of electromagnetic field concepts and energy.
- Describe electric and magnetic field behavior from analytic expressions and/or simulation results.
