This is the first quarter of the electricity and magnetism sequence. Topics covered include electrostatics and magnetostatics, with an emphasis on Green's functions and special functions as tools to solving such problems. We will begin the study of electrodynamics as well. We will attempt to provide more physics context than the textbook.

Syllabus

Handout on vector analysis.

Handout on coupling of charged particles to electromagnetic field and magnetic monopoles.

Magnetic dipoles.

The Equations of Macroscopic Electrodynamics.

Electromagnetic Spectrum.
