Electrostatic field: point and distributed electric charges φορτία, Coulomb’s law, electric-field intensity, scalar electric potential, dielectric displacement, Gauss law, boundary conditions.

Conductors, capacitors, capacitance.

Dielectric polarization.

The method of images.

Fields due to constant electric currents: current intensity, current density, Ohm’s law, electric resistance, Joule’s law, grounding systems.

Magnetostatic field: Ampere’s law, vector magnetic potential, Biot-Savart law, magnetic flex, self-inductance, forces on wires.

Electromagnetic induction, Faraday’s law.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able: 

• to describe the sources of static electric and magnetic fields andunderstand the physical significance of the pertinent quantities,
• to compute the electric-field intensity, generated by point or distributed charges,
• to understand the interaction between electric fields and conductors, 
• to calculate the capacitance of different configurations and the resistance of conducting objects ,
• to understand  the behavior of simple grounding elements,
• to calculate the magnetic-field intensity due to known current distributions,
• to calculate  the induced voltages on conductors and the applied forces on current-carrying wires..

Elements from Mathematical Analysis II are required.
