Pre- and Co-requisite Courses:
Physics 121 (Physics II), Physics
234 (Physics III), and Physics 432 (Electromagnetism I).
Students are encouraged to take
Physics 442 (Introduction to Quantum Mechanics) concurrently,
though it is not a prerequisite
course.
A Short Introduction:
• This is a junior or senior
undergraduate 3 credits course.
• This is a course with only lectures and
no Labs.
• The emphasis of this course is on the
elementary concepts of electromagnetic fields. Upon completion of the course,
students are expected to be capable of using the Maxwell equations to calculate
simple electromagnetic problems, ranging from radiation to wave propagation.

Homework
Assignments will be due bi-weekly, usually on Thursdays. Assignments are due at the beginning of class.
Homework problems, lectures, and text readings will form the basis
of the exam problems.
Exams:
There
will be two in-class exams and a final exam. The exams will be based on the
assigned homework problems, the assigned readings in the text, lecture notes,
and the lectures. Students are allowed to use lecture notes and formula sheets.
Not allowed to discuss the problems with other students.
Academic honesty
Students are encouraged to discuss the lectures and textbook material, work together on homework problems, and study together for exams. However, students are not allowed to present other people’s work as their own (including copying another student's homework as well as using of problem solutions found on the Internet or elsewhere).
