Course description
This course provides students with a part of the physical foundation for the Engineering Program.
Electromagnetic forces quite literally dominate our everyday experience. The description of the phenomena is difficult because of its mathematical complex, vector algebra, solving a differential equation, etc. The topics covered are the electromagnetic force and static electric field in vacuum. The knowledge of electromagnetism in this course will be essential for the scientists and engineers.
Expected Learning
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:
1. describe and explain the static electric field around a point charge and/or charged materials using Coulomb’s law and Gauss’s law
2. explain the relation between electric field and electric potential
3. describe the static electric field using Poisson’s equation
4. describe the energy of static electric field
explain the microscopic Ohm’s law using a motion equation for the charged particle in the static electric field

Remarks 1
A problem-solving provided as homework is effective in understanding the electromagnetic phenomena. You are welcome to and encouraged to do the homework with your own and/or friends. However, the work you submit should be your own and reflect your own understanding.
