This course covers advanced topics in electrodynamics.
Induction Faraday effect; inductance; circuits with resistors, capacitors, and inductors; Maxwell equations; displacement current; work in magnetic systems.
Energy and momentum stored in electric and magnetic fields; the electromagnetic stress tensor; angular momentum of electric and magnetic fields.
Waves in one dimensional systems; electromagnetic waves; wave propagation in media; waveguides.
Radiation; electric dipole radiation; magnetic dipole radiation.
Special relativity and electrodynamics; simultaneity, Lorentz contraction, time dilation; the Lorentz transformation; antisymmetric field tensor; Maxwell equations in covariant form.
Potentials and fields; potential formulation; Coulomb and Lorenz gauges; continuous distributions; potentials of a point charge.
