| Course description |
|
The aim of this course is to provide you the essential knowledge of electromagnetism required in the field of bio-medical engineering. We will focus on understanding the fundamentals of electromagnetic phenomena, rather than just memorizing equations or solving problems in the textbook. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to: - Understand the definition and meaning of terms used in electromagnetism for bioengineering applications - Explain the concept of gradient, divergence and rotation of electric field using vector calculus and what Maxwell's equations mean. - Use appropriate equations, diagrams and graphs to describe phenomena in a static electric field. |
| Course schedule |

1. Introduction: how electromagnetism can help us in biomedical engineering 2. How to describe physical quantities (electric field, magnetic field, charge and current density) 3. Flux and circulation of vector fields 4. Maxwell's equations (Gauss', Faraday's and Ampere's laws in integral forms) 5. Derivatives of a vector field (gradient, divergence and rotation) 6. Integrals of a vector field (Gauss' theorem and Stokes' theorem) 7. Maxwell's equations (in differential forms) 8. Coulomb's law and superposition principle 9. Electric field and electrostatic potential 10. Poisson's equation: 2nd derivative of a vector field 11. Some examples of electric field and potential (point charge, line charge, surface charge, capacitor and cell membrane) 12. Practicum: report writing and interactive review 13. Electrostatic energy 14. Dielectric polarization 15. Recap and final exam |

| Message from instructor(s) |
| As you study biomedical engineering, you will find that many biomedical devices and instruments, and sciences behind life phenomena are related to electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is based on a very beautiful theory described by a set of four fundamental equations, known as Maxwell's equations. Therefore, whenever you encounter any complex electromagnetic problems, you can get back to a simple model with the fundamental equations. Conversely, to really understand what the equations mean, you need to have some mathematical skills such as vector calculus and to capture a clear image for the physics. I hope you will learn the fundamentals in this course and gain the ability to analyze bio-physical phenomena, and apply your knowledge for solving future practical problems in biomedical engineering. |
