PHYS 721 - ELECTRODYNAMICS I

3credit hour(s)

Description This is the first course of a two-semester sequence in electrodynamics. Topics in the sequence include boundary value problems, Maxwell’s equations, multi-pole expansions and gauge tranformations. Additional topics will be chosen from such areas as the relativistic formulation of electro-magnetic theory, lagrangian formulations of classical fields, plane and spherical waves, wave guides, multipole radiation, radiation from moving charges, plasma physics, magneto-hydrodynamics, relativistic (synchrotron) radiation, and radiation in collisions and other applications of interest.
