This module gives fundamental principles of Engineering Electromagnetism. It deals with interactions between electric and magnetic fields. The module is divided into three parts:
Part one starts by describing physical phenomena which led to the development of Electrostatics principles such as Coulomb’s law, divergence and Gauss’s law, energy and potential, Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations, work and energy in electrostatics, dielectrics and their properties, conductors and their properties, capacitance, resistance and electric boundary conditions.
Part two of the module presents the fundamentals principles of magnetostatics including magnetic forces, materials, inductances (self, leakage, magnetising and mutual), curl, steady magnetic fields, Ampere’s law, scalar and vector magnetic potentials, magnetic boundary conditions.
The third part deals with varying electromagnetic field; it includes magnetic effects of electrical currents, electromagnetic induction, Faraday’s laws, inductance, Self and mutual induction principle and Lenz’s law are discussed.
