This course is focused on the generation and propagation of electromagnetic fields. Based on Maxwell's equations we will derive the wave equation and its solutions. Specifically, we will discuss fields and waves in free space, refraction and reflection at plane interfaces, dipole radiation and Green functions, vector and scalar potentials, as well as gauge transformations.
Objective
Understanding of electromagnetic fields
Performance assessment
Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)
The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit.
Mode of examination
written 180 minutes
Additional information on mode of examination
Die Schlussnote besteht zu 90% aus der Note der Sessionsprüfung und zu 10% aus der Note einer Zwischenprüfung. Zudem kann die Schlussnote um 0.25 aufgewertet werden, falls der Durchschnitt der 9 besten Übungen höher als 75 Punkte ist.
Written aids
10 beidseitig von Hand beschriebene A4-Blätter. Keine elektronischen Hilfsmittel (Taschenrechner, Computer, Handys, .. )
