PHYS 233 - Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism
The classical theory of electricity and magnetism is assembled from observations of nature and physical inference, using differential and integral calculus. Emphasis is on the fundamental roles played by the electric and magnetic fields, their geometrical properties, and their dynamics. The course covers the integral form of Maxwell’s equations. Principles of elementary circuits and optics are also included.
