PHYS 431 Electromagnetic Theory
This course starts with an introduction to electrostatic problems. The student is then introduced to special relativity and the Lorentz transformation. Special relativity is then used to transform the electrostatic problem to understand magnetic fields, Maxwell’s equations, and electrodynamics. Finally, an introduction to electromagnetic waves and their propagation is developed.
