課程概述 |
This is a continued course in the basic theory and applications of electromagnetism for students in the engineering school. The main topics include conservation laws, electromagnetic waves, potential and fields, radiation, and electrodynamics and relativity, which cover the basic principles such as Poynting's theorem, Fresnel's equations, Lienard-Wiechert potentials, Larmor formula, and Einstein's postulates. The following topics are emphasized:
1. Conservation laws, as contrasted to classical mechanics
2. Electromagnetic waves in dielectrics
3. Electromagnetic waves in conductors
4. Applications of waveguides
5. Maxwell equations with sources
6. Potential formulation and gauge transformation
7. Solutions with Green functions, Jefimenko formulas
8. Radiation theory, Rayleigh scattering, Mie Scattering
9. Multipole expansion of radiation fields
10. Basic electrodynamics of a charged particle, Lienard-Wiechert potential
11. Radiation from an accelerating charged particles, bremsstrahlung
12. Radiation reaction, Abraham-Lorentz theory
13. Introduction to special relativity, Lorentz transformation
14. Special relativity and EM theory, 4-vector formulation of electrodynamics |
