Physics 323 - University Physics III
Course Description and Objectives
Maxwell's unification of electricity and magnetism was a revolutionary
development in classical physics. Topics include: electric force, field,
potential and current, capacitance, resistance; magnetism, induction, AC/DC
circuits, and Maxwell's equations along with their vacuum solutions.
The primary objective of this course is for you to develop a solid
functional understanding and appreciation the foundations of
electromagnetism and its applications. You shall be able to apply learned
techniques to construct idealised mathematical models applicable to physical
situations and be cognizant of the underlying principles, assumptions and
limitations of your model.
