At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. demonstrate proficiency in calculating the effects of the material parameters on the propagation of plane waves
- LO2. demonstrate an understanding of wave propagation in transmission lines to the extent of the course work presented
- LO3. demonstrate proficiency in analysing and solving problems in electrostatics and magnetostatics by applying techniques, principles and methodology presented in the course
- LO4. demonstrate proficiency in applying Maxwell's equations to solve specific engineering problems
- LO5. apply Gauss's Law, Coulomb's Law and Poisson's Equation to calculate fields and potentials of topic specific engineering problems
- LO6. describe the interaction between time-varying electric and magnetic fields and how this interaction leads to Maxwell's equations.
