This course is supposed to enhance physical understanding of the students about electrostatics and magnetstatics as well as providing them with new, and rather strong, tools to deal with problems in electr- and magneto-statics. Here is short a list of the concepts being lectured:
- Vector analysis (preliminary)
- Coulomb's law
- Gauss's law
- Techniques in electrostatics: Laplace equations
- Techniques in electrostatics: Method of images
- Electrostatics in the presence of medium (dielectrics)
- Electrostatic energy
- Electric current
- Biot-Savart law
- Ampere's law
- Magnetism
- Magnetism: a microscopic study
