Electromagnetics, a field that covers the basic principles of electromagnetism,
electrostatics, magnetic fields of steady currents, Maxwell's equations,
propagation and radiation of electromagnetic waves, electric and magnetic
properties of matter, and conservation laws. This subject requires a proper
knowledge of vector and multivariable calculus. The course starts with the
basics of vector calculus which is widely used later on in the whole course of
Engineering electromagnetics. I learnt so many new things in thing course. I
loved the application based numerical problems which appeared to be so
difficult but could be solve with a single maxwell equation. Electromagnetism
exists everywhere. When people drive, walk, or even go to the beach. However,
due to the extreme complexity of the topic, electromagnetism has proven to be
a subject studied by those who are crafty and willing enough to
explore the domain. It is regarded as one of the most difficult course in the
ECE curriculum but as I am doing the course for the second time, now I have
realized that physics is all about the basics and concepts. If we master them,
we have mastered the whole subject. Also, we need to attempt to solve as many
problems as we can. Practice is the best way to gain
skill. Magnetic and electric fields are some of the most interesting concepts
found on the earth. The interplay between these two things is one of the
reasons that magnetic and electric fields are used for many things from
powering motors to recording sound and information. Maxwell is the God for
this area of science as the whole subject revolves around the 4 equations of
maxwell. Maxwell's most important scientific contribution was to the field of
electricity and magnetism: a set of differential equations which are now
known as Maxwell's equations, and describe the properties of electric and
magnetic fields and their interactions with matter. The ideas of electricity start
from simple objects such as springs, coils and magnets that simply created a
current for some sort of affect to either start or light some object. Now these

theories have expanded to a point where our everyday lives are affected by it.
When people start their cars for example, a magnet turned by a flywheel
generates current through coils to help ignite the cars electrical system. In
short, electromagnetism exists everywhere in our everyday lives. There are
many examples of electromagnetism effecting technical objects of todays
society. One particular example would be radar devices used for tracking
ships, cars, or even submarines. The ideas of sending out a signal composed of
a wave of certain frequency and wavelength returned at a certain time can be
used to find objects or map out underwater territory. Maxwell used his
equations to show that electric and magnetic fields are two complementary
components of electromagnetic fields. He also showed that electric and
magnetic fields travel through empty space, in the form of waves, at a
constant velocity of 3.0 108 m/s (which predicted the speed of light c) and
also proposed that light was a form of electromagnetic radiation.
His work was the first of many other experiments and theoretical research
that many other well known scientists have used his works with their own
experiments. Maxwell presented a set of equations that completely describe
the electromagnetic field. How it is produced and charged by currents, and
how it is distributed in space and time. Accompanying the electric component
is a magnetic component - which are both equal. It may be shown that
electromagnetic waves transport energy as well as carry momentum. It can
also be shown that any other accelerated charge, not necessarily a sinusoidal
oscillating one, loses energy in the form of electromagnetic waves
CAT 1, we mainly concentrated our efforts on electrostatic fields denoted by
E(x, y, z); CAT 2 was devoted to magnetostatic fields
represented by H(JC, y, z). Then, we examined situations where electric and
magnetic fields are dynamic, or time varying. The electromagnetic force plays
a major role in determining the internal properties of most objects
encountered in daily life. Ordinary matter takes its form as a result of
intermolecular forces between individual atoms and molecules in matter, and
are a manifestation of the electromagnetic force. Electrons are bound by the
electromagnetic force to atomic nuclei, and their orbital shapes and their
influence on nearby atoms with their electrons is described by quantum
mechanics. The electromagnetic force governs the processes involved in
chemistry, which arise from interactions between the electrons of neighboring
atoms. I am glad that this course for in our curriculum and happy that I could
learn the most out of it.
